Hm, Skype just managed to blow up the window decorations when running like this, too. It's definitely not quite stable, but I really wish I could get it to be stable and still this responsive -- makes the machine feel much, much nicer on the whole.
Nothing much illuminating by running compiz --replace & in a terminal and watching some of the output tick by, by the way; lots of warnings that I think could normally be ignored. but I'd be very curious to have a compiz developer look into this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1496525 Title: desktop is much smoother after toggling copy to texture in compizconfig Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I just found this while trying to tweak performance in compizconfig -- I'm currently running 14.04.3 with all of the available LTS-vivid packages and nvidia-346. The Unity desktop is much, much smoother after _toggling off_ "copy to texture" in compizconfig during a session. There don't seem to be any performance gains from starting up with it turned off; it has to be toggled mid-session.
