Most likely the problem is that TM checking changes in folder 
references slows down the normal "to front" process, and when TM is 
done checking the system continues, even though TM has lost focus.

Folder references will be improved in the future to not do their work 
on the main thread and/or use kqueue (though probably this won't work 
for network mounted drives) or similar, which should solve most of 
these "delay" problems some people are experiencing. At present I can't 
give an ETA, but it's a planned v1.1 improvement.
