Any way to improve framerate of jQuery animations?

I'm working on a website that uses a lot of javascript animations to display content and I noticed jQuery does a poor job when it comes to making animations appear smooth?

How can I overcome this apparent limitation of jQuery?

jQuery's animations, unlike, say, css animations, are not hardware-accelerated and this is the reason why they are not as smooth. Also jQuery isn't meant for implementations that rely heavily on animations and you should take a look at other solutions:

Velocity is an animation engine that integrated seamlessly with jQuery and outperforms jQuery at all levels of stress.

Also, for more advanced and hardcore stuff definitely take a look at Greensock.
