Confirming here also. One of my systems is an older Dell Optiplex GX280 but sup'd up with 4GB DDR2 400MHz, 120GB SSD, Pentium 4 3.0GHz (SL9KG) 65W.
All of the symptoms described by Neumann match my experience on this unit. Further, I've also got an older AMD dual core which exhibits the same. What we probably want to do is pre-cache during startup (with a low nice value) whatever needs to be done for the gnome activities window to increase the chances that when the user first opens "Activities" (either by clicking or pressing SUPER key), that things will be smoother. (Obviously if the system loads into gnome and the user tries to load activities before we've finished the caching operation they won't be better off) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1323217 Title: Gnome3 slow when when pressing <SUPER> for the first time after reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1323217/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
