bu5hm4n saw this and put in a fix - so did i... this would require poking
around e_pointer.c and seeing what is going on with the pointer stack and
printing out what is happening. i can't do that remotely from here for you...
you'd have to add printf's when pointers are pushed and popped and see.

This is probably your nvidia driver being unhappy about e auto-disabling
compositing (turning compositor off) and then back on again. this is very
driver-dependent. all e does is disable redirection when a fullscreen window is
there after a short period of it being fullscreen and thus getting out of the
way entirely (and then turning compositing back on and redirection when it
stops being fullscreen). the compositor has a setting for this "dont composite
fullscreen windows". try turning that off.

Other than that... That would be a problem between you and your nvidia
driver. :) how an application renders is entirely up to the application and the
api's it uses to draw. all e sees is a pixmap that represents the bitmap of the
output fo the app and it maps that to a texture and renders it. i might guess
that the driver has somehow chosen to draw to different buffer types for
compositing vs non-compositing and ends up in some super slow mode.

i wonder if this is os configuration dependent - logind/systemd etc. and the
fact that e opens input devices via elput. this seems to have had a bi-product
of breaking the vmware driver in xorg at least ... somehow.

-Delput=false

and rebuild e?

elementary config tool- audio settings. mute options.
