We will show you how you can switch. Select either Genie or Scale then close the window, or minimize it if you want to try out the animation instantly. As the name implies, Genie effect will add a wonderful "genie"-like effect to the window before minimizing it to the Dock. The Scale effect is rather simple as it cuts down on everything fancy and opts for a simple minimizing effect. I highly prefer the latter if you want to make your Mac feel faster than how it currently is.

Besides, even if you do not like the effect, you have the complete option of reverting things to how they were. If you have an older Mac at hand, then you can breathe new life into it by opting for Scale effect. To top things off you can disable transparency effects. This will take a handful of load off your Mac's GPU, ensuring things run as smoothly as possible. If things seem slow still, then you might want to consider upgrading your Mac.
