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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/814833 Title: Opening the dash is very slow and laggy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/814833/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
