This is a tiny bit off-topic, but I'd love it if someone would optimise 
the dash search. For me, opening the dash isn't an issue, but searching 
definitely is. It seems like the dash blocks for about 1/2 a second at 
regular intervals. This stops me typing more characters, which in turn 
stops results from showing up. It seems like the gwibber lens is 
blocking, which in turn blocks the home lens. Bug report is here (with a 
video):

One could argue that this is a bug in the gwibber lens (and it arguably 
is), but it'd be nice if we could deal with blocking or broken lenses in 
Unity (especially if we expect to support third party lenses).

Cheers,
