New animation at start of match costs white 5 seconds every game

I don't know if it's just me, but the new animation added to the app (where the names come down onto the board for a moment) locks up the game for 3-5 seconds while white's timer runs. In bullet games, that's a significant disadvantage. Is there a way to disable that animation?

You can disable it in settings
