Disable all transitions monterey

Hi, I bought a new 16"M1 MAX running Monterey and I'm a developer.

My only need is to work fast without lag, so I need to totally disable (not reduce) all kind of transitions, first of all space switching transitions (I switch between spaces thousands times in a day).

Tried several terminal commands but nothing seems to work with Monterey, tried even tools like yabai, but I need to work with different spaces (I actually use total spaces in a 15 mbp").

After spending 5k for a professional machine, I expect to save time, not to be forced to watch fancy animations all the day :) I'm not a fashion blogger, I'm a pro user (remember Apple?)

Anyone know if this feature will be added, or if there's a way to reach this goal? At least reduce the time of transitions?

However I will consider to sell my machine.

Thanks

best regards

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

You can turn on Reduce Motion. System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Display -> Reduce motion

This results in changing the moving animation to a crossfade transition which appears slightly faster.

Then disable ProMotion if it's on. I think this is set in the Display preferences, specifically the monitor refresh rate. There are complaints that it is this new feature that is slowing things down considerably. It may get fixed in a future macOS update.

Disabling Pro Motion make some transitions jerky, but with Apple Display (P3-500 nits) instead of Apple Display (P3-1600 nits) seems to be a little (little) bit faster, in my case.

Downgrade to Big Sur seems to be the last chanche, if may fix this (see above)

They decide to dismiss the grid spaces, a feature that even in windows is available, and after 5k spent for a very well manufactured streaming device, I'm still force to work with my old 2015 15", that is faster for my workflow.

It's embarrassing

Thanks James for the fast reply,

I'll get a try with ProMotion, I've already activate the Reduce motion feature.

Is downgrade to Big Sur an option to temporarily fix this issue, or the behaviour will be the same?

Thanks

The original shipping macOS is Monterey on your model MacBook Pro, you cannot downgrade it to Big Sur.
