As a rule of thumb, UI animations should generally stay under 300ms.

My observtion too, since i fiddled with a registry key for Windows 7' taskbar autohide. Default was 400 ms and 300 ms felt way snappier, 0 ms even more so.

    I use KDE and I set the animation speed to - as fast as the monitor can make it look like an animation.
    When I minimise/maximise a window, all I want is to have enough feedback to tell me that the action happened and if 20 frames can do that, I don't need 50.
