Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
When pressing Alt + Tab, staticswitcher can be very slow to appear depending on the "heavyness" of the applications present on the application on the current workspace.
That's reported by people using intel and nvidia cards. It wasn't the case with compiz 0.8 on the same hardware.
It can be easily reproduce in opening an image with a big resolution on eog for instance.
so:
- go an empty workspace
- open some applications
- open eog with a "big enough" image (like 1024x768 is enough here)
- see that alt + tab takes longer and longer to appear (thumbnailing?)

Confirming, this was picked up as a side issue in the process of investigating bug #683635.
In the extreme case of this, the "paging in" of the images can cause swapping issues.
