Bug#778991: conclusion
I opened a bug report her: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89291 -The problem affects only ivybridge. -The problem is gone after activating sna acceleration. With -intel-2.21.15 from testing I recognized other bugs (e.g. big shadows under the nautilus window). -With -intel-2.99.917 from experimental only activating TearFree (perhaps i915.semaphore) results in smooth animations. I think it's not a major but annoying bug. All machines with ivybridge are infected. There isn't a solution with the actual driver in stable, testing or sid. The only workaround is fiddling around with experimental and some modifications in /xorg.conf.d. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Bug#778991:
Thanks, I can try it. But: The animations in Gnome shell in Debian are smoother than in other distributions like Fedora or Archlinux, which are using a recent driver – I tested a lot configuration like tearfree or sna. It sounds crazy but the old Debian driver in combination with UXA seems to increase animation speed. I'm a little bit afraid to change the xorg-driver. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Bug#778991:
Okay, after generating /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with the following content... Section Device Identifier Intel Graphics Driver intel Option AccelMethod sna EndSection ...the problem is solved. This workaround results in little tearing. Adding the tearfree option doesn't help and results in stuttering. So ist definitly a video-intel bug. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
