Sluggish Animations?

Has anyone else noticed that when you switch between spaces, the animation is very choppy compared to 10.5? This is one of a few system animations that seems to suffer from sluggishness. I'm on a 15" unibody, 4gigs, with the 9600GT enabled, so it's not like I'm running a low end system...

Unibody 15" Macbook Pro 2.4, iBook with faulty logic board ;), 16gb iPhone 3G, Mac OS X (10.6)

I'm also noticing sluggish/choppy animations on my March 2009 24" iMac (9400M, 2.66GHz C2D) in Stacks (Grid view), when minimizing windows, and when using Spaces. I don't really see the same problem with my 2.66GHz MacBook Pro (9600M GT) regardless of which GPU I'm using.

Even when I hold down Shift to minimize apps in slow motion, the choppiness persists on my iMac which leads me to think it's a software issue and not a slow GPU issue. Hopefully Apple can do something to address this!
