Yeah, the long slow slide is disorienting. I feel like somebody's spinning me around. :P >> defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-swoosh-animation-off -bool YES && >> killall Dock > > > The above line used to work but for some reason not anymore, not for me. I researched this over last weekend and it seems there is no way to change the speed of the transitions triggered by <Control><LeftArrow>, <Control><RightArrow>, and three-finger horizontal swipe. > p.s. if you guys found another way around this, let me know! I've gone back to using keyboard shortcuts to switch between desktops, plus clicking on applications in the Dock. For whatever reason, the animation for those transitions is much more crisp. Pinning applications is achieved using a contextual click on their Dock icon then selecting Options > Assign To This Desktop. Once you have your Desktops set up, then <Control><1>, etc will work well. (It's possible to assign different shortcuts if you like -- I've actually repurposed <Control><F1> through <F5> for this job.)
