Why does GNOME take so much time to tell that a screensaver-introduced password is erroneous?



Hi,

I use GNOME.

I have noticed that if I type some erroneous password to leave the
screensaver mode, GNOME takes ~3 or 4 secs. to tell me that it is
erroneous. If I type the correct password, I am directly sent in my
session. Why does it take so much time to tell me that a password is
erroneous? I can even know if I made a typo by looking at how much time
it takes!

Thanks.
