a sliding/resizing/morphing effect was in my todo since a while, (hope to be able to put some hours in it next week, but anybody is very welcome to beat me into that).
personally i wouldn't touch the cusom tooltip animation code in the tooltip before then (and after the effect is there is can just be removed altogether)

If add new panel animation is *cool* as is. The perfermonce decrease can be cause due to swap use, or QPropertyAnimation issue, however we (you KDE defs and i *like a user*) wants plasmashell and it's components (like panel) to works *forever*
