Yes, I see what you're talking about. And no, that's not a duplicate of bug 542744 (there, committing leads to an error message).

What happens is that we don't check for actual changes when you click OK, we always commit changes. Everytime groups are involved, we commit changes to all groups, which takes some time.

In the upcoming 2.10.0 version, the system-tools-backends don't apply changes when nothing has actually changed. This makes most operations must faster, especially when no changes were made at all. Plus, we no longer reload settings for each separate group commit. So I consider this fixed upstream, it should be in Lucid soon.
