My view of the current overview page, it's like your sitting in a theatre, and while your watching the movie someone keeps asking you to move while they get to their seat. Doesn't matter if it's 200ms, 5 seconds or the 10 seconds (ie the system's only a single core and the video has the CPU/GPU maxed out). It's still annoying. If the movie hasn't started it's great thought. So my only option is a program not of gnome-shell design. No big deal. > That said, five seconds sounds way too slow for going to the overview, > running gedit and coming back.

Even replaced the graphics card. Problems more related with OpenGL area as KDE with XRender works fine. I've given up and I'll live with the 5 seconds. sri > > >
