Lots of complaints that CSS animations are great for the manufacturers of CPU fans. As well as turning animations off, we probably need some way to limit framerate or CPU usage.

IIRC Opera does something like this for SVG.

rAF and other APIs now do allow frames to not consume lot of CPU and processors are now multi-threaded and multi-core to allow the use of CSS animation without causing any issues.

I am going to mark this as "RESOLVED WONTFIX" for time being. If I am wrong, please reopen this. Thanks!
