For me, the Alt+Tab switch time on the XO is around one second (or less)It takes several seconds for me, especially if Browse is involved. I'm running sugar-jhbuild (=> debug logging) on an abysmally slow SD card (or almost-as-slow NFS-root-over-USB-ethernet-adapter), though.to the next window.
Becomes burdensome only when there are *many* windows to cycle through - and it is rare that I have many open.On my desktop I often have some 50 windows spread over several workspaces each containing about a dozen of those windows inside a frame (where I can switch between them using keyboard or mouse). On the XO-1, I wouldn't even think of that, of course. With the memory usage of most activities more than a handful of them is simply impossible.
The developers suggested, when there are many windows open, not using Alt+Tab but instead clicking __in the Frame__ on the icon of the specific window to be switched to.I'm sometimes doing that, but since I loathe pointer devices and the first-generation XO-1 touchpad is more often misbehaving than not, this is only a last resort.
With the availability nowadays of 'Tabs' in Terminal (and in browsers),Good to know about that shortcut (can we expose it somewhere, please?). Unfortunately Terminal is broken for me (it crashes somewhere inside vte as soon as it's asked to save its state).I'm switching much more often *within* an application than *between*applications. In Terminal, Ctl+Shift+Horizontal_Arrow switches quickly.
