Bug Description
I am using the new alt-tab switcher in Oneiric. When I press alt-tab the window switcher takes just a little too long to appear. Releasing alt-tab during this period will generally work (I've seen it miss presses but this no longer happens after the latest upgrades) but the switcher won't appear until half a second later.
I don't know if the window is slow to render or this is just a timeout, but it feels slow and somewhat annoying when you have many windows (and you need to see the window before you can select the correct one). I'd appreciate it if this could be made faster or even configurable.

The switcher has had time to be optimized a bit, is this still an issue for you?
