(Get the code!)
John,
If a minimize animation is too fast to show you where in the launcher the window has minimized to, then that's a problem for all users, not just beginners. In that case, increasing the speed of animations is a terrible idea. Because even very experienced users need to be able to see _where_ in the launcher the window minimized to. If the animation speeds up to the point where you can't see where it's going then it will be useless to any kind of user.
We just need to choose an animation that is either more visible by design, or configured a bit slower. I recommend Magic Lamp which is the default minimize animation in upstream compiz. Its visibility is far superior to zoom. Though it needs improvement to look right with vertical docks like the launcher (bug 989463).
