video of split screen view on ultra-wide screen

SUMMARY

I have a 3840x1200 screen and the Dolphin split view animation takes upwards of
5 seconds to complete, while it rearranges the columns multiple times during
the process with a sickening stepped effect. 

While I am sure it is useful for newcomers to dolphin to understand what split
view is about. I find the animation not only sickening but the duration on my
large screen is an impediment to efficient working. 

I think it would therefore be useful to have the ability to toggle this
animation effect.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get an ultra-wide screen monitor, mine is 3840x1200 and physically 1.2m
wide. 
2. Open Dolphin and press F3

OBSERVED RESULT

Sickening stepped effect during animation, which takes overly long to complete.


EXPECTED RESULT

A speedy and smooth transition, whether animated or not
