My preference would be to disable them when Those animations only take 1-2 seconds to finish which is pretty negligible with respect to the whole process. I also assume you want to wait to start after loading so you get more consistent results. |

We occasionally run each story individually to gather detailed profiles, adding a couple of seconds does sum up quite a bit. While kinda nice, I don't see any actionable benefit from the animations and IMO the runner harness and page should be as lightweight as possible thus I'm in favour of avoiding unneeded work there. |

There are several elements on the page that have a "nice" startup animation.
While visually nice, it means we have to delay measurements in automation to not run into issues with transitions and svg animations occupying resources in the background.
