Bug Description
ubuntu 12.10 64-bit with the latest updates and Drawers installed running on a Quad-Core with 8GB RAM
when left clicking on a drawer it needs up to 20 seconds to open the window depending on the number of applications in the drawer.
if the drawer has "only" 15 applications in it, it still needs 5 seconds to open up

Thanks for the bug report... I know speed gets worse with more items and it's something I've been thinking about trying to clean up and optimize the code. However, that seems excessive. I have a drawer with 22 items that only takes 1s to display and I think my laptop has similar specs to your system. Another with 45 items takes ~1s. I have noticed that some times the same drawer opens faster than other times. Does it always seem to take so long for you?
The most significant slow down I've seen is a drawer with the entire contents of my /usr/share/ applications directory. With 279 items it takes 40-50s. I suspect it may have to do with the types of icons that are loaded and I'll have to investigate that.
I will do some more extensive and methodical testing of times to load different drawers and see if I can pinpoint the bottleneck.
