I'm using Objectdock 2.0, and I use animated icons with the "Animated Docklet" available through Wincustomize. I also use the nice animated icons from "Spiffy" that are available though Wincustomize and also Rocketdock's site.

But any animated icons from Spiffy barely work - even with "optimized for performance" selected in Objectdock. The icons are choppy and sluggish, barely moving from frame to frame. I have an I7 920 processor with 3gb memory so it should run fine. Animated icons form other users seem to run much much better, but "Spiffy" has very detailed and complex icons, and Stardock won't play nice with them. Even if I set the animation delay to 0, it still barley works at all. Often, the animation stops part way through and resets to the first frame, without completing the full animation.

If I use Rocketdock with those same icons, they play flawlessly, full speed. So why can't Objectdock handle those same icons?
