This is certainly high importance to Unity, because the dash is a major

If you have the Dash in non-maximized mode, it could save some CPU, and it
would allow you to click away from the dash.

The worst part about this, is that if you hit your super key, and start
typing immediately, the first two characters you type won't appear in
the dash, then you have to backspace what you've typed and type it over.
