GNOME lock screen lag

Hiya.

In the GNOME lock screen, I get a tiny lag (~1 second) while rolling the lock wallpaper up (not sure how you call it). It goes nice & smooth, and then, just before it's about to disappear, it lags for a moment, so I see about a quarter of it. Then it unlags and I can start typing.

Has anybody experienced this too, or is it just my one-core saying GNOME's too heavy for it?

I ran Gnome on a single core with a crappy 258MB graphics card and it felt sluggish. It's resource intensive if you compare it to other DEs. With 4 cores and an SSD, it's much smoother :-)

It is rather sluggish, but I don't mind. I got used to it over the years. But the problem is that the lag happens only in one moment - it's smooth otherwise.
