Transit doesn't incur much overhead: https://github.com/rstacruz/jquery.transit/blob/master/jquer... Either way, there'd need to be some sort of chaining implementation for the sake of the demo -- and at that point you might as well be using Transit. As for performance vs. CSS transitions, try out the Performance Comparison #1. Select Transit as the engine and run it at high element counts. It chokes pretty quickly. These effects tend to be exacerbated on mobile. I'll note that Velocity also combines features from jQuery, jQuery UI, and transitions -- so it's a feature play as well as a performance play.
