Delay after triggering something

[dhjdhj 0]

Unless my memory is seriously failing me, it used to be the case that I could open Alfred, launch something and immediately open Alfred again to launch (or do) something else, i.e, it worked asynchronously.

 

These days, it seems that Alfred waits for the item to "finish" launching and in the case of something like a workflow that opens xcode to a particular project, it can take up to 10 seconds before Alfred becomes responsive again.

 

Is this a known issue? It's very frustrating
