I think GNOME does support the sort of configuration you are wanting.
Refer to the "JDS 2.0 Optimization for SRSS" document.

   http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/jds_optimize.html

While this document is written from an SRSS perspective, most of the
performance tunings are generally useful to improve performance for
any GNOME installation.


>    o Use wireframe for window moves and window re-sizes.
>    o Disable dynamic effects when iconizing a program.

Refer to section 7.3.1

Not sure how to change this behavior.  Might be good questions for
the GNOME metacity list:
