while the windows alt-tab chooser responds fast when the cpu is on load GoToWindow does display itself but after long time, is there a way to make it more responsive?

Try running it as an administrator; when GoToWindow detects that it is running as administrator, it will use another Windows API to "keep track" of opened windows, instead of "discovering them" when you alt-tab. Let me know if that helps!

Mmmh, then I'm not sure. Currently, as soon as the key is hit, the window first shows up, and as soon as it has shown up, it queries the list of available windows. Two things you might try:

  1. In the Plugins, disable Notepad++, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox tabs detection, see if that helps?
  2. Try to make the process "above average" (see https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y410p-How-to-change-CPU-process-priority-in-Windows-8/ta-p/1216776) and see if that helps. It's not a good practice in general, but if you want GoToWindow to take priority over other CPU-using processes, that would be the way to go.

Let me know your findings!
