Fancy effects don't always have to eat up your system. For most systems now (at least mid-range and up) the graphic card for non-gamers is underutilized. Things like transparency 3d rotations etc. Actually touch the CPU less and less and the work is done by the video card. I found that Ubuntu runs slower when I turned effects to basic vs. advanced with the wobbly windows and spinning cubes. Because the effects it does do semi-transparency fading... Is done via the CPU rendering not the GPU.
