Any way to make effects smoothier?

Any way to make effects smoothier?

I'm using animate with some easing to move an element from out of the viewport into the view (on page load), but people notice it being jerky. I notice it sometimes too. Is it a known problem, or I'm doing something wrong? Are there any precautions that one must take to avoid these?

Here is the code I use:

  1. uiDialog
        .css('top', 0)
        .show()
        .animate({ top: finalPosition }, 'fast', 'easeOutQuad');



uiDialog is UI Dialog Element, which I want to animate smoothly right to finalPosition.
