Pause between gestures

Hello everyone,

After switching to Lion, when using the show desktop / mission control gestures, there is a short pause in between the gestures. In Snow Leopard, it was possible to switch back to the desktop (or hide the desktop again), even before the animation was completed. In Lion, there is a short pause before I can switch back to the desktop from mission control mode or move the windows back on screen after having used the show desktop gesture. Even after the mission control / show desktop animation is completed, there is some delay before I am able to use the next gesture.

Is anyone else experiencing this "problem" and is there any way to change it back to the way it behaved in Snow Leopard, possibly using BetterTouchTool or some other third party software? I am using a mid-2010 15" MBP.

Thank you all in advance for any advice.
