I speak too quickly! :(

The problem appears also under GNOME.
I've tried with xterm, ViM, and OpenOffice.
For instance, with oowriter the "latency" problem happens during
tooltip drawing (e.g., go to File -> Recent Documents and then move
the mouse up and down along the list of open documents slow enough
(but not too slow) in order to let the tooltipo appears; in this case,
I can note a delay which make appear an empty cyan rectangle and after
a few the tooltip text)

:(((
