Yes, and no. Removing animations is 1 part perception, but also 1 part actual. Remember that it takes processing power in order to process animations, both by the cpu and video.

One of the first thing I do to tune-up an XP box is get rid of some of the needless animations (fade this, slide that). I haven't yet had someone complain that I took that stuff away. At first, animations have a wow factor. But after awhile, don't we just want things to be snappy?

Then again, I'm a little old skool. No animations. No wallpapers ... especially moving (live) wallpapers, etc...
