Our current page transition behavior is hard-coded, and with the way it
works, you don't have to worry about large text bodies, since the
animation time is hard-coded to 200ms, no matter how far you
jump. Having said that, animating then you have actually typed (or
clicked on, from a different URL) a #fragment URL is probably annoying
no matter how fast it is. So it perhaps it should be considered a bug.
