Take a look at ksysguard. That might be doing "something special", but 
it's... well, pretty badly broken :-).

Yes, but as I've said, glows aren't as bad as the label animations (and 
I think plasma's are faster in general, which helps a bit). The kicker 
animation is... unneeded. Not horrible, but I wouldn't miss it.

Also... "what Christoph said" :-). Which I think I mentioned before, 
albeit differently; 'they are predictable and can be anticipated'. They 
also occur at the current or previous location of the mouse, which may 
have an effect.
