From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If the animations are running slow then your hardware is likely the culprit. Make sure you have a GPU made in the last 10-15 years or so.
I don't deny that Xfce4 is going to be lighter weight but saying it is faster is a stretch.
No, the animations aren't running slower on my hardware than in any other hardware... the issue is that there are animations and those take time to complete.
They shouldn't take time as everyone has pointed out.
Cmon... how can they not? An animation always takes time, 0.1s is time. As described here there's even an extension that can speed up animations.
