Ouch, many systems will become unusable in Gnome because of that.

Even an Intel Core2 Duo (E8400) from 2008 + Intel Q35 chipset from 2007
can not handle the load with Gnome Shell on a 1920x1080 display, using
accelerated GL drivers.

The overview with just 5 windows is extremly slow to appear or
disappear, and animations are about 2 frames per second...
