Agreed. I actually turned the effects off. First off like you, they just
don't seem to add anything to usability. Second, my laptop ran hotter
since any GUI thing seemed to up CPU usage. Third, my system was less
stable, I had cases where the GUI wouldn't respond after coming out of
hibernate.

Still, it is neat to show off! :) TTYL
