Description
Just upgraded from 2.6.12 to 2.8.6 and noticed that workspace switching got much slower.
From almost instant to about 0.5s.
This is true even if i remove the workspace switcher applet from tray.
It's quite essential for me. Is there a way i could profile the switching process / try other libraries / change some default options or something like that?
Which library is responsible for workspace management?

Research direction
Start by reproducing and profiling workspace switching in Cinnamon 2.8.6, then compare it with 2.6.12 to identify where the added delay occurs. Trace the workspace-management library or entry point responsible and document the cause, any viable configuration or library options, and a way to verify the performance improvement.
