Public bug reported:
Accessing the Unity menu, is such a common task, that this menu should
be cached or pre-rendered, so that there is absolutely no noticeable
lag after you hit your super key.
It literally takes 2 or 3 seconds for the Unity menu to appear after
hitting the super key.
I remember back back when Windows didn't cache their start-menu. Every
time you'd click it, it had to access the hard drive before it could
display it. Later, they cached that into RAM, and it made start-menu
navigation more instant.
When I'm launching an application, I hit my super key, and then I have
to wait for the Unity menu to come up before I begin typing. This
annoyance has finally grown to the point that I'm willing to write this
bug-report.
All efforts should be made to cache/pre-render this menu, so that the
displaying of it will be instantaneous upon user initiation!
I want my computer to always assume that my very next task is going to
be to hit my super key and display the unity menu, and I want it to be
geared toward making that happen instantly.
