While the point seems worthwhile, the animations don't help at all.

Stuff moves around for no reason (some graph layouting algorithm with easing I guess), the looping is bad and it's annoying to wait for the changes and as they happen instantly

A simple picture for each transition would have been simpler to implement and actually showed something.

I appreciated the visualisation. My CPU fan, on the other hand, was not a big fan.
Most CPU fans are little.
I found the animations helpful and they conveyed the ideas in the text to me well.
yeah, the animations gave me a headache. Stopped reading the article
