I don't have any animation on my screen other than minimizing/restoring
windows and the slight "throbbing" of progress bars.  On modern video
cards with OpenGL support, you get the transparency pretty-much "for
free", and, in the places it's used it does a good job of keeping sheets
and menus from obscuring whatever you're looking at.

This sounds more like an application complaint than an OS complaint.
Either that, or there's animation happening on my screen that I'm
completely oblivious to.

That sounds more like a hardware/firmware problem than an OS X problem.
I had a G3 with similar problems that I eventually tracked down to a
dodgy system board.

Okay.  I've you confused with someone else, then.  Sorry about that.
