I have an N270 netbook I'm testing performance fixes on too. With that hardware I found the best performance (by far) is with:
1. Install ppa:vanvugt/compiz 2. Install ppa:vanvugt/unity 3. Open ccsm and in Workarounds set "Force full screen redraws..." = ON With any luck, steps 1 & 2 will be built into Ubuntu 12.04. Step 3 is an unknown and requires more testing before it can be made the default. Because full screen redraws only became feasible and improve performance after you have the fixes from the PPAs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/803943 Title: compiz consuming a lot of cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/803943/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
