The performance aspect is notable, but my primary concern is the fact that it's extremely distracting, making it very difficult to read other posts, and effectively impossible to just leave the window visible.
I would welcome any of a variety of solutions, but I believe my preference is for the previous suggestion of looping a few times (maybe around 5 seconds would be enough to attract initial attention without being unbearably annoying?), then only animating when the mouse is over the relevant post.
(I mean, my personal preference is for no looping animation, but if people are going to use the feature, that is a compromise which I think would be a bearable level of annoyance for me.)

I also voted for a related suggestion, but my preferred solution is the same: loop for a few seconds, then only when hovering over the relevant message.
Of course the "hover" bit generally doesn't apply on touch devices. I don't consider that a problem, but if it *is* considered a problem, then maybe scrolling could restart animations for couple of seconds?
