Ok, what I meant was in fact not configurable (don't really have a strong 
opinion on that), but centrally controllable. That means having all animation 
durations come from a central location (units?!), so they can be switched off 
altogether.

Anybody objecting to adding this to units, in the form of  shortDuration and 
longDuration properties (I agree with Ivan that the currently used ones are 
not the most intuitive names)?
