--- Comment #15 from [email protected] ---
The "marching ants" animation that was added to Calc has several negative
effects:

* We use X11 thin clients, so the animation generates additional, unnecessary,
continuous network traffic.
* The animation creates additional CPU load and battery usage on portable
devices.
* The animation is extremely distracting to some people (myself included).

I strongly support adding an option to let users turn this animation off.  I
have polled my users and most seem to think that it serves no useful purpose. 
There is no such animation when copying and pasting in Writer, for example
(thank God).  When you copy Draw objects they don't flash or animate (thank
God).

At a very minimum it should time out after X number of seconds, or allow the
user to choose an animation rate.  But I think having an option to turn it off
in Tools-> Options-> Calc -> View (or General) makes more sense.
