I have a medium-sized angular app that uses angular -1.2.10 and ui-router-0.2.8. When I switch to a specific state, I get frame rate problems in the animation, whether I use $ animate on ng-show or manually animate it.
When I delve into the profiler, I see that $ is applied after XHR takes up to 200 ms. I believe that I am the reason for the lag. When I delete the code in the state I am going to, this problem goes as expected.

There is not much ng repetition, and bindings are fast:
