Maybe make it enbled: units.longAnimation > 1

I don't think we can set units.longAnimation to 0, as that breaks animations left and right (try it). Kai said, using 1 would be enough to fix that, but I haven't verified.

It is now hardcoded to 2000s which is a little bit slower than the original one (250 times 6) but it's much more comfortable that way imho. Also turning off "smooth" doesn't really help Animators anyway, and cleanup, alwaysRunToEnd should suffice.
