Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

When pressing Alt + Tab, staticswitcher can be very slow to appear
depending on the "heavyness" of the applications present on the
application on the current workspace.

That's reported by people using intel and nvidia cards. It wasn't the case with compiz 0.8 on the same hardware.
It can be easily reproduce in opening an image with a big resolution on eog for instance.

so:
- go an empty workspace
- open some applications
- open eog with a "big enough" image (like 1024x768 is enough here)
- see that alt + tab takes longer and longer to appear (thumbnailing?)
