The user experience is degraded FAR MORE by the 0.2 second delay than it
is by the flicker of the window (which I do not experience when setting
the delay to 0). My googling has indicated that the solution that many
people opt for is to disable compositing completely. That should be an
indication that the default should just be changed to 0 seconds.

The perception when you're using Ubuntu on a new computer with a high
end graphics card is that something in Ubuntu is just fundamentally
broken when a feature as familiar and ubiquitous as Alt-Tab is slow.

Please just change the default Static Application Switcher > Behavior >
Popup Window Delay to 0 seconds. The flickering issue will be resolved
when Ubuntu moves from X.org to Wayland. In the meantime, everyone will
benefit from a snappier, more responsive desktop experience.

Thank you.
