While in the process of upgrading an app from 4.13 to 4.17 JS API, we noticed that more animation/fade effects were added to 2D zooming and panning behavior, which is detrimental to UI performance when an app contains many layers. I would like to adjust this behavior in a simplistic manner, similar to how it was implemented in the 3.x API. For example, panDuration, panRate, zoomAnimationThrottled, zoomDuration, and zoomRate in the map object:

Here are navigation properties that are currently available in 4.x MapView class (see attached screenshot):
