+1 for this.

I also run a dual-monitor setup and am a keyboard-centric user. I often switch between documents/editors with alt-tab and my hands rarely touch the mouse when working. Having all the windows fade out is jarring. Especially when I do it quickly, the windows twitch.

I have yet to find a way to turn off this behaviour, although all the other animations can be turned off.

The only way around this I can find is to use alt-esc instead. It has a ugly black border and bugs out when switching between 3+ programs, but it works well enough for two.

Gnome 3 hit the nail on the head with this one. It takes about 1sec for the HUD to pop up, and it's fast and efficient.

This is the only thing that keeps me from using eOS as my main system.I hope to see this animation changed with ISIS.
