Make it fast please
I love OSX. It’s my favorite OS this side of BeOS. However I still get frustrated some times when things move more slowly that I would like. That’s why I was very happy to find this tip at macosxhints From MacOSX Hints If you are willing to sacrifice the visual feedback, disabling animation can provide a snappier experience. To disable animation in the Finder, open your favorite Terminal Software and enter this command:
defaults write com.apple.finder DisableAllAnimations -bool true
killall Finder
I definitely don’t have a slower system, but I still like being able to disable the zooming windows here and there. When I want a folder open, just open the folder please. If you decided it wasn’t for you, just reissue the command and restart finder again.
defaults write com.apple.finder DisableAllAnimations -bool false
killall Finder
