Its strange, here it was "on par" with other effects, which I then used a 1.4
animation factor ( one tick just to the left of default ).

Yes, i agree, the extreme values are way ... extreme :) If Nate has no issue, I
could supply a patch to make it less "extreme" and more granular.
Its extremely weird, because the other effects are all around 150ms~200ms. even
old present windows. And here is very very noticeable.

I can try a kde neon live cd in the weekend or earlier if I can. But that
setting is correct here. I tend to keep an eye on it, because there was a bug
that used to reset it, which David Edmundson fixed. ( he also fixed other bugs,
like this one:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/0bb3eb2baf5b0a4c0aacbe23bf55c47c0a2c39fd
).


Just to clear one possible issue, you are also using kde git version, correct?
Also as a workaround, the slide/glide effect allow to specify the duration.
Overriding it to 400 makes it more similar in timings to the overview/present
windows now.

So something weird is happening here... I don't know if its not my system at
fault, but I checked the kwinrc variable (it should NOT have one) and the
kdeglobals one (which can actually be a custom number if one edits it
manually).
