A machine without a GPU, like most VMs, renders through llvmpipe on the CPU, where every animated frame and every translucent window costs. In a VM, opening and closing a terminal took ~5s of CPU; a panel ~3.4s. omarchy toggle animations (also under Toggle > Animations) places a Hyprland flag that turns off animations, blur and shadows and makes windows opaque. The shell follows Hyprland's animations:enabled, rereading it on every config reload: its one-shot animations run for Style.duration(ms), which is then 0, and its spinners, pulses and title marquee hold still. A new install in a VM starts with the flag in place. Measured in the ISO test VM (llvmpipe), CPU per interaction: terminal open+close 5000ms -> 481ms, workspace switch 1670ms -> 409ms, audio panel 3446ms -> 796ms, volume OSD 2324ms -> 584ms, menu 2028ms -> 1241ms.
