title: jQuery animate (slide left) on iPad... how can I improve performance?
body: <p>I am using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('selector').animate({marginLeft:'-500px'},600);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... to slide a div to the left. Based on my current HTML/CSS, applying a negative margin works and I want to avoid having to rebuild my HTML/CSS to do it another way. My code works great on all browsers, but it's really choppy on a brand new iPad mini. Is there a better way achieve this effect specific to Safari on iOS?</p>
