Hi,
well, first of all, the patch was on kdereview for about 2 to 3 weeks
before I submitted the patch. I wished people had given more feedback by
then. The only person to try it out was aron seigo and he wasn't that
negative about the patch so I submitted it. Regarding the performance
... I have to say that a similiar animation on my shitty sony erricsson
mobile phone I bought three years ago runs pretty smoothly. Running 3
Gigahertz computers equipped with 2-4 Gigabytes of ram and and still
encountering such issues while running a tiny animation tells me
something is wrong. Maybe it would have been better to find the reason
for the performance bottleneck instead of removing the animation. I also
disagree with Sebastian that animations only make sense when there is
waiting time. I think animations instead should not result in additional
waiting time thus annoying the user while working. This wasn't the case
with this animation. Anyway, I removed the stuff from the tabbar.
Thanks for the feedback.
