Bug Description
instead of maximizing the window with the stretch animation we have now (which can be pretty brutal sometimes), we should take advantage of live resizing for a super smooth transition.
EDIT: if the login animation can be rendered smoothly, with resize and fade, why can't this?
Based on the website, elementary OS runs about as great without graphics acceleration as OS X does without QE/CI.
Just see how Fedora 17 runs without graphics hardware acceleration, but with software acceleration. Not great.
Side note: the Minimize animation feels like it's using a cache, as videos freeze during the animation.

I seriously doubt it's worth forcing the app to redraw just for the sake of a smooth transition. Due to rendering being capped to 60fps due to vsync the minimal response time from the app is 1/60=0,017s. GTK apps don't seem redraw that quickly, so that will be one step in 34ms... which is pretty much the maximum time we can afford for a maximization animation.
