Animations in Internet Explorer when gif files are blocked

An application running on our company intranet used to use a jquery opacity animation to show a bunch of blinking indicators. As many of our systems are old and slow I updated this with an animated gif which drastically improved the responsiveness and page scrolling of the browser.

I then discovered that the majority of our users, who access the site through a terminal server, have internet explorer animations disabled through a group policy. Therefore they can't see the animating gif. It's hopeless asking the admins to enable this, they just cite performance issues etc. Is there any html code I can use to trick IE into allowing this image to animate? If not, what is the best (least processor / memory intensive) way of displaying an animation if I can't use a gif?

Going on the fact "blinking indicators" sounds like quite minimal animation, have you looked into css3 animations? Needs IE10+, though.

Also: JQuery is a big library for just an animation. Raw javascript may keep things smaller.
