I have been using gnome shell on my netbook for a few days now and whenever there are 3-4 apps opened on a single works space the animation when any application is brought to the front is very much laggy. So the netbook hardware not as powerful to support gnome-shell?

I was wondering about that too, what exaclty are minimum requirements to guarantee a fluid working environment? Ive been running gnome-shell on my Acer Aspire One for a while and it behaves so-so, most of the time i blame it on gnome-shell being in the middle of development thus i dont file a bug for every little lag i experience, but it would be interesting if there is some kind of Minimum Requirements Description at all? Or maybe some values gnome-shell is aiming to be run with in a nice fashion looking further down the Roadmap. 

Is there any discussion going on about making more GPU-heavy Operations (like repositioning all Windows at once) an Opt-In so they will just not be used on older/smaller/slower systems or does gnome-shell aim at slower systems in the first place? After all, we all love our animations but everybody gets kinda frustrated if you dont get around to do what you wanted to do.
