Title:
  Dash: high latency responding to input

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Despite the resolution of bug #828582, I still experience significant
  delays in the Dash before my first keystroke appears as well as while
  the keystrokes appear. Basically, I bring up the Dash, type my search
  string, then sit back and wait for the characters to appear on screen.
  Even though I've typed the entire string, the auto search is occuring
  before the first keystroke and between some (or sometimes all)
  keystrokes. The delays tend to be on the order of seconds.

  I have old hardware, which probably exacerbates the situation.

  One option would be to have the Dash frequently check for keyboard
  input and immediately interrupt and cancel whatever it's doing when a
  keystroke is detected. Alternatively, perhaps some way to either (1)
  disable the auto search completely until I press the enter key, or (2)
  have the ability to set a user-defined delay parameter that holds off
  on the auto search until after that much time has passed with no
  keyboard input in the search field.

  Note that I originally wrote this as a comment for bug #828582, but
  was instructed to open it as a new bug.
