Could some preference be added to disable animation (e.g., when adding a comment to a diff, there are expanding/shrinking rectangle animations). Animation can be rather painful over slow RDP sessions.
Those animations are going away in the new UI rewrite. There's some animations remaining, but they're much smaller (just a quick fade-out). I don't know if it makes sense to add such an option in light of this. We can leave this open for discussion, though.

Fades usually suck in slow RDP sessions too (Outlook's toaster for new email drives me insane), but I'll wait to see how the upcoming fade behaves in practice.

Okay, the fades over RDP aren't horrible, but it'd still be nice to disable them.

James, remind me what browser you're using? Due to server and client-side caching implications, I would much much rather this be implemented as a Stylish or Greasemonkey script, which obviously wouldn't work for IE, but would for Firefox. If we implement this in Review Board, it means changing pretty much all the caching logic to handle this one preference, which 99% of users will probably never need to be honest :/ Doing it browser-side means that we don't have to change all this code and only those users who really need this disabled could disable it.

I'm using Firefox. A Stylish or Greasemonkey solution would be fine with me.
