It is a valid issue and a bug that needs fixing. There's a difference
however, between the usability issues that originate from bad design
decisions and issues that are purely related to the performance of the
software. An app being slow quite obviously impacts the overall
satisfaction and efficiency, thus the usability in general, but in this
project we want to concentrate on the issues that have their roots in
the suboptimal design, rather than the software performance or reliability.
