Thanks for the answer. Actually I already had 0.1 second and also I I'm 
listing only apps, not windows.
Strange thing is that this lag only occurs sometimes, you can see it at 
0:05 of my recording.

Anyway, thanks, greetings!

Make sure you have a delay set of at least .1 seconds, and then the panel won't try to display.

But we'll never be as fast as Cmd-Tab, because we have to ask apps about their open windows, wait for them to reply, then show the list.

Hey!
When I want to switch to last app and use Witch 4 (current beta) the switch 
is sometimes quite snappy but sometimes it takes a second or more, where as 
the native switcher always switches apps very fast. I'm taking about 
scenario when you're just very quickly tapping cmd+tab and releasing them 
immediately and not holding cmd longer.

Maybe the solution is to not event try to display UI if user is tapping 
keys very quickly and not holding them. I think that's how Contexts does it.
