Removed mention of the white flashes from the bug description because
that is bug 687567. However this bug remains valid. Indicators (and any
panel menus) are slow to respond to fast movement.
I found a few potential fixes for this laggy behaviour last week. Now
just trying to decide on the best solution.
You might think the lag is not noticeable on a high-end machine, but
trust me - you will notice the difference even on a fast machine when
it's fixed.
** Summary changed:
- Slowness in indicators
+ Unity panel menus and indicators slow to respond. Too much lag.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: indicator-applet
Expected behavior:
- Go to indicators, click on a random one, quickly move mouse over the
indicators. The indicators should nicely and rapidly be drawn, with no odd
artifacts on the screen.
+ Go to indicators, click on a random one, quickly move mouse over the
indicators. The indicators should nicely and rapidly be drawn.
Actual behavior:
- It takes a noticeable fraction of a section to draw the indicators. There is
a significant delay. When moving quickly, it takes a noticeable interval to
draw them. White artifacts with the same shape as the menus popping up are
drawn.

Steps to reproduce:

This does not happen on my more powerful laptop.
Ways to improve:
Somehow increase responsiveness of indicators. This is essential, because as
of now using the indicators is not a streamlined experience.
