Bug 456218

SUMMARY

From the discussion in bug 450268 I was told the Slide effect speed is too slow compared to other effects and this is exacerbating another bug where windows don't appear on multi-monitor setups until the animation finishes (I'm not sure if there's a bug report for this one, but since I only have a single monitor, I'm waiting for the person that talked about that to make their own bug report).

At the default global animation speed, on a 60hz screen, it took on average 50 frames for the slide animation to complete, while the overview took on average 15 frames and opening Kickoff took around 8 frames. The new effect has an animation factor which is too big compared to most of the other effects. It should probably take the same amount of time to complete as the overview effect, which is also a fullscreen effect. Making the speed consistent with other full screen effects should improve user complaints and let devs avoid adding redundant per-effect speed settings to work around the issue.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch desktops using the slide effect

OBSERVED RESULT

Animation is way too long at the same global speed setting when compared to all other effects.

EXPECTED RESULT

It should have the same speed as other fullscreen effects, like the Overview effect.
