Bug Description
This is basically the same as bug 824890 but that is said to have been fixed for Oineric and this is on Raring. If I am not mistaken, the policy here is to open a new bug.
With Active blur, the dash takes somewhat longer to appear and the animation is not smooth. With Static blur or No blur, it is quick (but it could be quicker, it still takes time and since I open the dash often, I do not see why there is a delay at all) and smooth. I would say with static blur or No blur, it takes under one second whereas with Active blur it takes about a second. The fact that it is not smooth gives it a much more slower feeling though.
With active blur, it takes three steps - it (1) dims everything right of launcher, then (2) blurs it and then (3) dims the launcher. There is always a delay between steps (1) and (2) and sometimes there is a slight delay between (2) and (3). If I repeat the operation, the second delay is sometimes absent. It seems it somehow caches something so it is sometimes fast, but not always (and almost never in normal usage as the cache does not stay long enough).
I hope my graphic card etc. got picked by ubuntu-bug.
