/**
* The goal of this test is to compare how various animation engines perform under pressure, taking relatively common
* animation tasks and running a lot of them at once to see raw performance. The goal is NOT to figure out the most
* efficient way to move dots in a starfield pattern.
*
* The same code drives everything except the actual tweens themselves. Every test in the "tests"
* object has 4 properties:
*
* - milliseconds [boolean] - true if the duration should be defined in milliseconds
*
* - wrapDot [function] - when each dot <img> is created, it is passed to the wrapDot() method
* and whatever is returned gets stored in the array of dots to tween. This
* is useful to improve performance of things like jQuery because
* instead of passing the dom element to the tween() method (which would require
* jQuery to then query the dom and wrap the element in an engine-specific object
* before calling animate() on it), a native object can be used. Basically it lets you
* cache the dot's wrapper for better performance.
*
* - tween [function] - This is the core of the whole test. tween() is called for each dot, and the dot is
* passed as a parameter. The tween() function should set the dot's cssText to the
* startingCSS value (which just places the dot in the middle of the screen and sets its
* width/height to 1px) and then after a random delay between 0 and the duration of the tween,
* it should tween the dot at a random angle, altering either the left/top values or transform
* translate() values accordingly, and adjust the size to 32px wide/tall using either
* width/height or transform:scale(). Then, after the tween is done, it should call the tween()
* method again for that dot. So the same dot will just continuously tween outward from the
* center at random angles and at random delay values.
*
* - stop [function] - This function is called when the user stops the test. The dot is passed as a parameter.
* The function should immediately stop/kill the tween(s) of that dot (or all dots - that's fine too).
*
* - nativeSize [Boolean] - true if the beginning width/height of the image should be its native size
* (typically necessary for transforms, but not when we're animating width/height).
*
* I don't claim to be an expert at the various other animation engines out there, so if there are optimizations
* that could be made to make them run better, please let me know. I tried to keep things as fair as possible.
