Tech tip - adding 'inert' HTML attribute does not speed up animations

Adding an 'inert' attribute to the document body does not seem to speed up animations.

The 'inert' attributes stops any interaction from the user.

I thought animations started from 'view transitions' looked faster. I noticed these transitions stop all user interaction.

In fact, adding 'inert' does not seem to make much diference.

My old page transitions using regular CSS animations look jerky on old computers. Maybe it is the complex HTML that slows them down
