FYI, animations are there to hide the lag between click and response. They do not slow the computer, they are there to hide the perception of slowness. (The computer does something immediately, but it may not have all data needed to finish it, because it is waiting for i/o to complete).

Also, just because the animation is 60 fps, it does not mean that the computer or device are fast. It just means that the animation is smooth and the systems has certain time (0.5 - 2 sec, depending on animation) to do, whatever it is supposed to do.
