For making such a big deal about resolving the multiple desktop and full-screen issues, Mavericks feels a little disappointing. Switching between full-screen windows is still accompanied by the painfully slow animation which still can't be disabled. Trackpad scroll speed on my 13" MBA is also noticeably slower without significant load on the machine. This seems deliberate, but it's a move in the wrong direction for people that already have the trackpad sensitivity maxed out.

I'd bet the animation hides the fact that the transition is actually that slow.

  If that were the case, it would be a matter of overly-aggressive optimization on Apple's part. Full-screening in the days of multiple monitor setups shouldn't necessarily mean that windowed apps get paged out (which is about the only reason I can see for causing a slower transition).

  It isn't. The full transition happens before the animation starts. It's a simple crossfade.

You can't get one window to overlap over two screens anymore. Now imagine VNCing into two monitor setup, when you use vertical monitors...

Doing so will also restore the ability to have windows that span more than one display."

Check out TotalSpaces which fixes a lot of the 'problems' with spaces introduced in Mountain Lion. In ML at least (haven't tried v2 on Mavericks yet) you can completely disable the transition animations when changing spaces. http://totalspaces.binaryage.com/ http://totalspaces.binaryage.com/
