Increasing animation / overall battle speed. Is it possible?

[GRSimba]

I really enjoy this game, but after watching the same old animations a bajillion times over (and that's just in one play-through, don't even get me started on multiple games... or maybe fighting enemy groups of ~9 shamans or something).

Anyways, my question is this: Can one easily increase the speed of the animations to something like 4 or 8x their current speed?
Is there a mod out there that already does this?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Since it appears to not be obvious, I would like to increase it to a speed much faster than that available in the options menu.
