The website https://www.reifen.de/ uses a CSS animation with animation-iteration-count=infinite on the image-loader class as used by several images that causes a 50% CPU load of Firefox. It's 10% more than for Safari.

The load is divided into the following buckets:

main process ~38% (mostly WebRender threads)
web content process ~12% (nearly all in the main thread)

Here a recorded profile: https://share.firefox.dev/3cG16fU

Not sure if that is just a web compat bug and that the website shouldn't use infinite here. But given that no animation is visually recognizable I wonder if there could also be done some optimizations on our side.

Hey Henrik is this still an issue?

CPU load is clearly lower these days. It's mainly the main process which takes up to 15%.

Boris, can you take a look at this to determine priority and severity? Thanks

Looks like there are lots of div.image-loaders running the lazyLoader keyframes with background-position-x property, (which is running on the main thread). We don't see that because it uses opacity: 0 for these divs. At least right now this doesn't cause high CPU. It just make the main thread keep running a lot of animations. Set P3 and S3 for now.
