It still takes ~2 seconds for Spectacle to capture the screenshot. It seems that there is a flaw (for lack of a better term) deep into Spectacle which makes it very slow, whether you use the system-wide shortcut or you try to capture screenshots when the program is already open and therefore (theoretically, at least) ready to run. I hope this can help narrow down the issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
