How is a transformation accelerated by the GPU? I'm pretty sure translations are done on the CPU before sending the final transformation matrix to the GPU.

When you use translate3d, the element is moved to a different rendering layer, rendered by the GPU. This improves the fluidity of it
I didn't know that, thanks!
