I agree with the solutions purposed especially changing the delay as it
would fix the problem alone and not cause to many side effects.

Currently with a nub you have to make a fast movement to the edge of the
screen then reduce the pressure to the left holding the mouse there
until the panel opens. It is very counter intuitive that you have to
continuously push. It also wears out your finger until you learn to keep
pushing but just at a reduced pressure when you hit the edge. Even after
you get this down the delay is annoying.

 With a touch pad mouse the delay and small target make sense. When you
swipe to the left the mouse will stop exactly at the edge without need
to continuously push.   And there are naturally two movements with a
delay between them. Your first swipe to hit the left side of the screen
and then recenter you finger to make a separate movement to get to your
icon.

With a nub though the direction change is continuous because you do not
need to recenter your finger on the pad. The delay just becomes dead
time where you have to hold the pointer against the edge waiting for the
launcher to open. And it is nearly impossible to directly hit the edge
without continuously  pushing on it.

 I imagine the delay will eventually start to annoy touch pad users at
they get better at hitting their target in one swipe to the right spot
without needing the second swipe to get to the right part of the
launcher.
