Disable cover fade animation of app being swiped away

Hey Sailors!

Since 1.0.7.16 (Saapunki) a fade animation is used, to highlight the current app being swiped away. So if I peek or going back to Home, my current app cover appears slowly on the upper left. In prior Sailfish software versions, the app cover was at the homescreen without delay.

Why was it changed? What is the real advantage of this? I cannot see any benefit of this behavior, because the current app was/is always on the upper left. My problem is, that this great OS now feels a kind of sluggish. Like the phone has not enough power to show the cover immediately. Mostly I feel the need to wait, until it appeared completely...

So my question is: How can I restore the old behavior and disable the cover fade animation?
