(Get the code!)
Thanks for the profiling information Sergey!
File accesses during first run are completely normal. Nearly 90% of them are related to icon files. Slingshot (GTK+) usually has to load from 16 to as much as a hundred icons depending on how many applications you've installed. I would rather associate this lag to the drawing internals of the popover widget: The BufferSurface class on which the widget relies for drawing is not fast (and it's not supposed to be, according to the documentation). It is fine for small popovers (say 250x150px), but it gets worse when the popover area becomes bigger.
