Is it possible to disable the fade out animation of the applications overview (dash) without using compiz and disabling all animations? I really like the animations in GNOME, but I it is really laggy when closing the applications and workspace overview. I read somewhere that this is caused by not caching the menu items. Is there a way to make that happen so that the menu will close properly? Or is their a way to disable or reduce the time of the fade out animation?

Since GNOME 3.8 there is an explicit option to disable animations, you can change with gconf editor, or simply issue this from terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false
Also if this is not enough for you or you PC, you can enhace the responsiveness of UI by reducing the animation time:
sudo nano /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/overview.js
Change the ANIMATION_TIME to 0.001
const ANIMATION_TIME = 0.001;

In 15.10 there is no
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/overview.js
even creating it and adding only that line had no effect– rubo77Oct 25, 2015 at 7:16
