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.
