Ingo Gerth (igerth) wrote : Slowlyness in indicators

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

Expected behavior:
Go to indicators, click on a random one, quickly move mouse over the indicators. The indicators should nicely and rapidly be drawn, with no odd artifacts on the screen.

Actual behavior:
It takes a noticeable fraction of a section to draw the indicators. There is a significant delay. When moving quickly, it takes a noticeable interval to draw them. White artifacts with the same shape as the menus popping up are drawn.

Steps to reproduce:
Grab a netbook (ASUS 1015PE here) or old laptop and follow the steps above.
This does not happen on my more powerful laptop.

Ways to improve:
Somehow increase responsiveness of indicators. This is essential, because as of now using the indicators is not a streamlined experience.
