Choppy resize animations

Summary

Hey! I've been trying out Komorebi's animations and noticed that window resize animations are pretty choppy on my system.

I'm currently on the 0.1.42 nightly, but I also tested 0.1.41 stable and had the same issue. My display is 60 Hz, and I've tried changing the animation FPS, duration, and easing styles, but it doesn't seem to make the resizing any smoother.

Regular window movement can look smooth, especially vertically, but when a layout change causes windows to resize horizontally, the animation becomes noticeably jagged. Opening new windows also seems a bit choppy.

The rest of Windows and other animations on my system run smoothly, so I was wondering if this is a known limitation of the current animation implementation or possibly something that could be improved.

Thanks for all the work on Komorebi!
