Yes, expectations differ widely :-) For me anything above 1 second is slow and needs improvement. Anything above .5 second is bearable but not ideal. This is bad habit from PalmOS and old days when computers were fast :-) There is some old paper on the net about KDE performance by Waldo Bastian, see also [1]. Here is the relevant part: "Slow is a very subjective term, but when it comes to a graphical user interface, things are typically perceived as slow when there is a latency of more than 0.3 secs. between action and reaction. So if I click on a button, it should bring up a window on my screen within 0.3 secs. If it takes longer, users tend to perceive the system as slow."
