v0.90 -- Very frequent slowdowns

[valsamis-d]

Hello,

After installing v0.90 there are times when AAS is very slow (takes 3-4 secs) in displaying the list of windows.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to identify a pattern, but here are the most recent entries in "AltAppSwitcherLog.txt":

Hi :-) Thanks for the feedback. Do you repro with v0.89?
If not, the slow down is likely caused by v0.90 logging a lot of infos into AltAppSwitcherLog. It has been added on purpose for debugging but will be removed in the next update.
0.90 was flagged as latest release by mistake for a few hours. I have set it back to pre-release.

Hello and thanks for getting back to me.

I've installed v0.89, for some reason I missed that version, and here are my observations:

It's definitely faster than 0.90 on regular use, except (still takes 2-3 second for the list to appear):

• First start (makes sense kind of)
• First use after system lock due to inactivity.

No "AltAppSwitcherLog.txt" has been created.
