The minimise animation is Metacity. You could try disabling compositing:
gconftool-2 --set --type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager false
and do logout/in. It should speed things up, but you'll loose certain effects.

Have you tried setting the env vars: QT_NO_FAST_MOVE, QT_NO_FAST_SCROLL to see if they help performance?

But other than those suggestions, your use case is very much a corner case for us.
