Hi Daniel, Yes, I too believe that what's described in bug #1049214 seems to fit what's happening on screen. Please mark this as a dupe of that bug report.
On a side-note there was something that caught my eye in the latest nvidia driver beta: Version 310.14 Release Date Mon Oct 15, 2012 * Improved performance and responsiveness of windowed OpenGL applications running inside a Unity session. While this may not cure the issues in this bug report it might restore performance lost when gaming. It will certainly make it worth checking -- 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/1037453 Title: compiz 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1.4, performance regression To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1037453/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
