So, I just did a fresh reinstall. When the system came up from the install it was working excellently - snappy responses from nearly everything. I proceeded to run a full update including all the repos in the system settings dialogs (including partners & proposed) and then rebooted to the new software. Immediately when I came back up, I noticed there were issues within the desktop. Specifically, the same fade in/out transition issues and general slow-ness of any graphics components. Again, once in an actual application, the applicaton seems to run fine (this browser instance, for example) but the window decorations and menus and such are all still quite laggy. The worst is the unity menu.

Not sure what exactly the issue is that is causing the lockup/performance issue but the symptoms are basically the following... Boot up - seems fine Login - during the transition from the login screen to the actual desktop/Unity shell there's a large pixelated image being displayed Desktop action - opening/closing any window is just dead slow - so much so that you can see the windows coming through the normal transitions from not there to fully there in about 4-5 steps. Programs themselves operate normally once open. After about 5-30 minutes the screen just freezes. I switched to VT1 and I'm getting a ton of messages stating... [drm:radeon_cs_ib_chunk] *ERROR* Failed to schedule IB ! ...just being spewed out on the console. Have to actually physically power cycle the machine from this point. Not exactly sure what component the issue is related to - could be compiz, xserver-xorg, etc. no idea. I think this is related to bug 1100286. I cannot leave the system in this state for very long as I need it for work purposes. I have another system to fall back to in a pinch, but its not ideal. If I don't hear back on this bug from someone by the end of the day on Monday I'm going to try re-imaging the system and see if that can at least get me some progress.
