Get the latest nightly build of Firefox 3 (Minefield) for some minor APNG action, using alpha channel transparency to animate full color images over a stationary background (which also serves as the fallback for non-APNG capable browsers), keeping file sizes down since the background here is only drawn once and is not encoded into the frames of animation.
If you're experimenting with the Firefox 3 nightly builds, this YTMND might use abnormally high amounts of CPU mojo. My guess is that it's either the use of alpha channel trickery in the animation, or more likely the frame rate needs to come down a little. All other browsers including regular Firefox aren't affected by this since they aren't displaying the animation anyway.
It was the text overlaying the animation that was eating all the CPU cycles, so since the transparent GIF text overlay doesn't work at all with APNG, the text got removed and the APNG was replaced with a less CPU-intensive version that runs at a lower framerate. It's still pretty CPU-heavy stuff on Firefox 3 even with these changes.
