ngAnimate makes IE11 grind to a halt

[circlingthesun]

This jsfiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/oga2z7bb/3/) uses ng-repeat to render 10000 numbers. This jsfiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/oga2z7bb/4/) does the same thing but includes ngAnimate.

Both examples work fine in Chrome & Firefox. The first example also works in IE11, however if you open http://jsfiddle.net/oga2z7bb/4/ in IE11 your browser should stop responding. I've profiled (with 1 000 numbers instead of 10 000) this and it seems that 99% of the time is spent in window.requestAnimationFrame().

I use ng-repeat to render a calendar in my app. With IE11 it is effectively unusable unless I do some browser sniffing and not load ngAnimate when IE is detected.

Here it is again with 1000 elements
on 1.3.15:

on 1.4.0-rc.1:
https://jsfiddle.net/oga2z7bb/8/

The example on 1.4.0-rc.1 takes a lot longer to show when compared to 1.3.15.

Can confirm that there's a significant delay.

It also happens in the latest snapshot. Interestingly, it doesn't regress if you combine an angular version from before the refactoring (say 1.4.0-beta.6) with an animate version from after the refactoring.

@Narretz at least $$AnimateRunner is not defined in the earlier versions of angular.js, which seems to be required by the latest angular-animate.js

So probably not regressing due to the module not being loaded successfully?

OK there is now a fix for this:

Existing (broken) version:
