What's even more odd is that on the weather screen, the wiper animation occurs perfectly and you can see your background from start to finish. On the Home screen, the wiper animation starts with a black background and then the custom background fades in during the considerably slowed animation.

I don't have a solution, I'm just reporting my experience to see if any of the more skilled people here can derive the problem out of it after confirming with others. The only thought I had is there a way to specifically disable the weather animation on the Home screen, but leave it on for the weather screen?
I doubt it has to do with my specific background, but if it is useful I'm simply using the jpg named "HTC_stwater_480_800" found in the windows dir. Same background on all pages.
You can turn off just the homescreen animation very easily. On the Home screen hit menu then hit home wallpaper. Choose animated wallpaper, it will pop up the album saying there is nothing to display. Hit albums then hit all and select any of your normal wallpaper. Honestly I do this every time it just speeds up the entire device, I love the animations but not for the cost in performance.
