Switching focus 4 times incurs a 3 second delay on the whole window (input, clicks, whatever) while the CPU goes to 100% (Core i7@1.8GHz) emptying the event queue (not to mention that the animation doesn't work while the event queue is being processed). More switches seems to be somewhere near quadratic. Luckily I don't do much mousing around, so focus is unlikely to be a trigger (scrolling is usually a heavy hitter when there's a social bar or whatever hanging around).

Shouldn't do the such tests while make -j8 is going. It's closer to 4 times is a 1 second delay, but it's still feels quadratic if it falls behind at all.
This is strage: in my case it only needs few seconds to settle...

You don't try to fix normal programs with SELinux policies, why do you want to try to do that with webapps?
