I'm sure there are other performance bugs we haven't pinpointed yet. If you have Sync To VBlank enabled (which is default) then 60 FPS is probably to be expected. Because the framerate should be the same as your monitor; never higher. Unfortunately with a few compiz/unity performance bugs pending

Yes, that's true if I run glxspheres through the intel card, but running through optirun, the nvidia card doesn't respect the sync-to-vblank setting, so the expected result is a rate considerably higher than the 60 fps monitor. I get 150fps normally with the fixed unity/compiz, but it regressed
