The delay is always there. There seems to be no delay in Gnome for the comparable situation.
I expect the Dash to appear immediately. As fast as you'd expect that a character appears when you type text.
Maybe it's because the transparency effect in Gnome uses less archaic ways of doing it, but I'm not sure about that. I just noticed that the dash transparency is CPU intensive, but that's another problem.
