Well yes if a user has an older computer the animations will stutter,
but should this user have the effects enabled in the first place? I just
think that, if a user is going to go ahead and enable desktop effects,
the effects might as well be decent looking (including a time step of 1)
rather than forcing the effects to look jerky by having a higher time
step. This is basically bringing down all users who have decent
computers to the level of those who shouldn't even be enabling these
effects.

Regarding computer load, I'd rather have jerkiness during heavy
processing (which is quite rare) and smoothness for the grand majority
of the time, versus just having average effects all the time.
