How is everyone's alt-tab performance? I've been trying to like it, but alt-tab is so slow that it's barely usable. I don't have another GNOME3 computer to compare it to, so I don't know if it's something wrong with my configuration or hardware.

Things I dislike about Gnome 3.0:
* Alt-tab is between apps, with alt+(thing above tab) for between windows in an app
* Super+L doesn't work from the zoomed out view
* Screen lock is partially broken: gnome-screensaver doesn't guarantee to lock the screen when switching users or suspending. It continues on whatever happens.
Wow, I really wish I would have known about that a long time ago. Alt-tab only working between applications was so annoying that I found an extension that reverted to an old-school alt-tab behavior, except now it operates between all windows regardless of what workspace they are on...
Alt-` is fantastic.
This laptop has a discrete (FireGL 5700) and integrated graphics (GMA 4500) chip I can toggle between for power management reasons. No performance issues, alt-tab or otherwise, under either.
It's been such a solid desktop that it's been my main development environment for these past few months.
Oddly, Super seems to work with less lag (though it stutters) than Alt-Tab for me while I'm running something resource-intensive.
On the other hand, typing anything in the activities overlay is very painful. I do it only by a mistake, because it's sooo slow, not only for the first time, but always. So is switching from Windows to Applications.
