If you don't like watching the Finder's "snap to grid" animation, open Terminal and enter this command:

Defaults write com.apple.Finder AnimateSnapToGrid -bool FALSE
You'll then need to restart the Finder (using Activity Monitor, Terminal, AppleScript, logging out, or whatever other method you prefer) to have the change take effect.

[robg adds: This one works as described, and wasn't covered in this previous tip, which listed a number of other animation-disabling settings.]
