How do I disable the minimization effect?

In Ubuntu 12.10 there has been a minimize effect added to the system.

The minimize effect was not present in previous version of Ubuntu.

The effect makes things seem slow.

How can I disable it?

Open the app called CompizConfig Settings Manager. Click here to install it, if you haven't already.

Then disable the "Animations" effect. You can access this setting quickly if you type "Animations" in the search field of CompizConfig Settings Manager.

Pro-tip: the app also permits you to increase the speed of the animation !

Another way to speed up the minimization animation if by using the app called "Dconf Editor".

The whole procedure to do so has been thoroughly described on OMG! Ubuntu!.
