I was using Hardy Ubuntu and have recently moved to Lucid and in both distributions I have noticed that alt+f2 (launcher) is very slow to show up when I have a lot of programs open.
Also, when I start typing in the box (alt+f2 launcher box), the typing is very slow (Maybe because it is trying to auto-complete?). I don't really understand why.
My terminal auto-completion is very fast. I have a very beefy machine with lots of RAM.
Has someone else also faced this problem? What is the solution?
Is it possible to replace the default gnome alt+f2 launcher with a different one that perhaps doesn't auto-complete?
EDIT: I'd like to add that launching applications from the gnome-terminal is extremely fast on my machine (less than 1 second). With alt+f2, they take 3-4 seconds and sometimes even 5+ seconds.
