It wasn't the worst part of the old code, but I did consider it to be contributing factor.
The animation widget itself is fairly negligible compared to the rest of the script. The difference between being paused and playing (or even stopped) is so small that I can't measure its impact on framerate on my computer.

It's also neither optional nor something you can really optimize, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
