Default Try this. It may make a difference.

Changing Window Animation Scale and Transition Animation Scale to 0.5x.

It's under settings > developer options.

I take no credit for this. Found it at this this thread:

I've done this since day one even on stock ROM. But you beat me to the thread, hopefully other people find it as useful as us. I've always used any app from the play store or native to speed up or take out animations. It helps with the day to day speed a lot.

Better yet turn them off. I personally see no benefit from this particular eye candy, in fact I find it distracting.

I'm really surprised at the difference it makes.

I really don't see a difference. What does this affect?

Pretty much all animations. Opening and closing of windows seems much quicker, lock screen pops up quicker after pressing power, the home screen seems to come up quicker from the lock screen, etc. These are things that I've noticed. Try setting it to 0 if you want to really notice it. I like it at .5.
