Why should it be faster? It's doing the same work. In modern browsers with their heavily optimized and JITed JavaScript runtimes, an animation in JavaScript will often perform better than the equivalent CSS. (And that goes double if you're using WebGL and can just hand it off to the graphics hardware).

I'd like a citation for the claim that JavaScript animations are often faster than CSS animations. If it is true, it would be a very interesting read.
It was absolutely untrue five years ago (I'm sorry, no data - this is from experience). Perhaps JS interpreters have come a long way since then.
