Just updated my transistions.ini to the one posted by dscobsct and wow! I love it! Makes switching tasks when multitasking much faster! Thanks for such an easy fix!

Well, if I really think about that, I do not use any screen transitions on my desktop, which has much stronger hardware. So what is the point of running transitions on a phone? Even if they are smooth, they take some time -- and this is wasted time in terms of CPU time as well as user's time... And the removal of transitions may also positively affect battery life - the processor will not switch to higher frequency just because I am switching between apps...

the transitions dont take up hardly any cpu load they come from the graphics chip, try open 10 apps that dont use graphics like games and see if it effects transition performance. and they dont effect opening times of apps either if u find a .ini short effect durations

The interesting thing is that it does not matter where I click, i.e., just clicking inside the conky window has that effect -- and the CPU load remains low. It looks like the processor frequency manager has a tap-to-speed-up feature...

Can anybody confirm this?

Rooted - 2 screen shots attached.
One shows the application manager appearing behind the menu.
The other shows the awful blur affect. I guess you know about this and it has been discussed, but I just wanted to put it up for others to see so they are aware.
Except this minor issues with apps appearing in the background (even after they are closed) I can't find any problems. Either way the speed increase is still well worth this slight inconvenience.
I guess you could get "caught" looking at "something you shouldn't" with this bug - but not sure if it works with the browser/media player/image gallery yet.

I'm going to add an enhancement comment to 'transition control' in devel that it should include pre-fixes to perform the functions of these varios transactions.ini files.
update: not sure how to add a note to http://maemo.org/packages/view/transitioncontrol/ and i can't find the project on the garage. little help anyone?
