I was wondering - why are the animations in Ubuntu not nearly as smooth

it is not nearly as smooth as it would be if it were in Windows. There
is no reason for this is there? Hardware should not be a problem, since
Windows 7 and Windows 8 are both running on my PC, and definitely have
smoother animations than Ubuntu does. So I think that the animations in
Ubuntu should be as or almost as smooth as the animations on Windows.
Any ideas on how to do this, or should I file a bug? Thanks!
Explaining what do you mean by "smooth" would be nice.
If you mean frame rate, I see no noticeable lagging or choppiness
while using the workspace switcher. If you refer to aesthetics,
you need to give more details.
Sorry about that - I was in a hurry composing the email! The frame rate
while windows are open. I guess the adjective to use here (could not think
of a better one) would be that the animations for workspace switcher are a
little "choppy". There is no lagging, but it would be nice and easier on the
eyes to have a nicer animation, one that is smoother. From the way I see it,
workspace switcher animations keep getting nicer every time a new version of
Unity/Ubuntu is released. If you look at the Windows 8 start screen and the
Ubuntu workspace switcher, even though they are not the same animations, the
Windows 8 start screen after login definitely has more frames than the
workspace switcher does. Thanks!
