Description William Jon McCann 2009-05-22 17:53:51 UTC 
The animation time for the overlay is a bit long.  We're using 0.5 second.  From my quick tests of "another system" it takes about half that time to animate.  The other system feels about right.

I tried using gnome-shell with Overlay.ANIMATION_TIME = 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3. On my system, anything below 0.3 looks a bit 'rushed', but 0.3 feels smooth. It makes my system look faster than with the default 0.5, while animating slowly enough to see what's going on.

patch for 0.25s

I think this is pretty close to the right feel.  That said, it doesn't look very good on my system yet because I'm not getting enough frames in that time.  But I think we want to use 0.25 anyway and the performance issues will be fixed in time.
