You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Window animations (e.g. when you maximize/minimize a window) are very, very
jerky. Note they are not slow, it's just they are not smooth.
My computer has definitely enough CPU and GPU power to render those animations
smoothly, and this happens even when there's no program using significant
system resources.
This defeats the very purpose of those animations, which is to provide a
more fluid user experience.
I know they are a mostly aesthetic feature and I am the last person who
would like to see such a feature take resources from more important
things, but either they can be made decently smooth without affecting
system performance, or they cannot, in which case they should be removed
altogether.
No window animation is _way_ better than a jerky window animation.
