Mac OS X is guilty! It also takes a long time to copy from one  
application (a browser or Mail) and paste into another (Mail or the  
browser). For seconds the last contents fron an old copy action is  
available. When copying from a PDF, for example in Skim, it can take  
tens of a second, without spinning beach ball which would indicate  
that the system is not operable at the moment. It seems like the copy  
action itself is deferred. X11 seems to work OK and reasonably fast.

None.
They just redefine "dark" as the new standard.
