Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/3883

What would you like to see?

Please include an option to disable animations in the gui - this is because they actually can increase resource usage more than might be expected - especially when running a remote desktop which then forces excessive updates to the stream. Also I've been surprised how much of a difference it makes just minimising the AnythingLLM gui (which is a quick way to show the difference which disabling animations should provide. I understand that for many people this may not be an issue but for me it is - I would love it if you could add this as a preference option for people like me who strive to keep things lean and efficient.

I think enabling this feature (#2954) would make this a possible non-issue. We certainly will not be adding controls to disable only the animations since that is quite niche and non trivial to sprinkle throughout the UI

Okay, it's of course up to you. The ability to close or minimise the app doesn't help because as I said I was already minimising every time to avoid the overhead. It's actually not a "non-issue" for anyone remotely logging in because it forces a lot of screen updates. I actually found that it slows other apps down surprisingly, maybe look into it because it is affecting performance more than it should, might even be a bug. Thanks for your time either way and have a great day.

I see you got rid of the animated icon when "thinking". Great, thank you

We can additionally disable hardware acceleration via a UI toggle, which can also alleviate usage spikes from the render process - otherwise, we made some optimizations in how the chat items are rendered and that likely helped the most.
