Bug Description
Window animations (e.g. when you maximize/minimize a window) are very, very jerky. Note they are not slow, it's just they are not smooth.
My computer has definitely enough CPU and GPU power to render those animations smoothly, and this happens even when there's no program using significant system resources.
This defeats the very purpose of those animations, which is to provide a more fluid user experience.
I know they are a mostly aesthetic feature and I am the last person who would like to see such a feature take resources from more important things, but either they can be made decently smooth without affecting system performance, or they cannot, in which case they should be removed altogether.
No window animation is _way_ better than a jerky window animation.

matteo,
Could you please run ccsm and try:
OpenGL > Sync To VBlank = OFF
And if that doesn't work, turn it back ON and try setting:
Workarounds > Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint = ON
