I have simple slideshow running on a couple of sites but a few customers say that it jumps when fading in and out. Has anyone else experienced this on their slideshows?

I don’t know about MooTools, but in Scriptaculous, all effects work  
in a defined duration, and put as many frames into that duration as  
will make it appear smooth. But if there is something keeping the  
animation from running (another process on the computer hogging all  
the resources, perhaps) then the emphasis is put on making things run  
on time, not on smoothness. Frames get skipped entirely in order to  
make up time.
