Attachment: Animation of delayed bold

Not sure if this happens on all platforms.

STR:
1. Open Net Monitor.
2. Refresh to capture activity.
3. Change to the Timings tab.
4. Change the selected resource.
5. Observe that the "X ms" text for Sending, Waiting, and Receiving appear to become less bold (or something like that) during the transition and then about 1 second later, the number's appearance returns to normal, matching the ones above it.

I've attached an animation demonstrating the effect.

That's probably just css transforms optimizations coming into play.

I guess the part I found strange was that only *some* of the timings are affected.  The top 3 don't exhibit this behavior, only the bottom 3.  For example, Connecting (row #3) frequently has to move to new value too, but it does not exhibit this issue.

The animations could.. be removed alltogether. I can't think of any good reason to keep them in that tab. Do you agree?

Eh, I think they are kind of fun. :) I just felt like reporting this because I thought I was going crazy at first.  

I can try to poke at the animations in a little while and see what's going on.

Let's just WONTFIX this, it's not that big of a deal imho.
