Hi Paul,
The transition speed is really very dependant on processor speed. Unfortunately, if your processor/graphics card is struggling then it's going as fast as it can and and changing the slider setting will not have any perceivable effect.
I recommend you try lowering the fade steps to 16 and increase the fade time to some high value e.g. 10 seconds.
Then test this and steadily reduce the fade time slider until things start to behave reasonably. It's a bit of a tricky thing to balance - if the PC is really struggling and you can't get effective fades, then it may be worth trying 2 fade steps and just blanking the screen (although it doesn't look so good I know).
Cheers,
Christian.
