It feels like the firing animations take a ridiculously long time, and although I don't have hard data, I think they take the majority of my missions. The sniper animation is especially egregious, I don't want to watch a guy take 5+ seconds to line up a shot and then miss it.

There isn't a way to disable the animations but with the XCOM ToolBoks you can speed up other aspects of combat.
