I’m moving from linux to mac for my main flame machine. I don’t care for the fancy desktop animations and I want as much speed as possible when moving around on the desktop, moving windows, etc. I have checked “Reduce Motion” in the Accessibility Settings. Are there any other options to check for maximum speed vs. frilly frill? ---

Here are some of my prefs on Mac: Keyboard - Key Repeat Fast Dock Settings - Minimize window using Mission Control - When switching to an application, switch to a Space… (check) - I think you need this for Flame if you have multiple screens. I have it on all my systems. You might consider turning hot corners off ---

Are there any other options to check for maximum speed vs. frilly frill? Make sure you don’t let spotlight index your framestore or any other drive that you depend on for maximum throughput. ---

I think you are right. I just turned it off and I couldn’t feel or see a difference. Although jumping between spaces now it dissolves instead of slides. ---

When there’s lots of desktop ‘animation’ I see Teradici struggle to keep up. But then again Teradici struggles just to play back 23.98 HD for me anyway.
