There are two problems to avoid here.

One is the current problem, where a half-resolution screenshot is in an
Uncanny Valley between looking (a) like the actual app or (b) obviously
different from the actual app. It ends up looking like a display bug.

If you go for (b), though, you risk a new problem, which is making the
phone seem slower than it would seem otherwise. If you see a desaturated
screenshot with a spinner just for a couple of seconds, the mere fact
that you saw a spinner at all will give you a memory of having had to
wait, whereas you might have forgotten one or two taps that did nothing
because you were tapping on a screenshot.

One way of reducing this would be to give the app a couple of seconds to
resume, then desaturate only if it hasn't. Then give it another couple
of seconds to resume, and put up a spinner only if it still hasn't.

Title:
  Suspended app screenshots are blurry

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It's really obvious that an app has been suspended when I switch to it
  and the screengrab is really blurry. Would be really nice if it wasn't
  blurry.

  See screenshots. One shows blurry clock that I switched to, and then
  the non-blurry real clock a few seconds later.
