This is a very trivial problem, but it's been bugging me anyway. After a being on a while my G5 will no longer minimize windows to the dock smoothly; it starts dropping frames. It's still smooth when I maximize, however, which is odd. Any idea what might be causing this?

Basically it was shown to be caused by force quitting apps during launch too many times. There are probably other causes. If it is really bothering you, just kill the dock. To kill the dock, open Terminal and type "killall Dock" (of course without the quotes, capitalization matters). To do the task quicker you could write a simple applescript or use OnMyCommand to make a contextual menu item. Hope that helps.

Thanks Maelman, that did the trick! Glad to know I'm not alone with the bug.
