Enabling Fix screen updates in XGL with fglrx in Workarounds seems to help a bit.

[Bug 841527] Re: Dash very slow with blur in Oneiric beta1[ATI report]
I have tested with a Radeon X1950 Pro. This one use the open source driver as it is no longer supported by fglrx. I couldn't notice performance issue with the blur in the dash. What we are lacking is a tool that would check the performance of the graphics effects used in Unity. Such a tool is planned but not yet ready. For now, if you have system that is showing performance issue in the dash, I recommend you turn off Active Blur in CCSM or you limit to Static Blur or No Blur. ** Changed in: unity Status: Confirmed = Incomplete ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841527 Title: Dash very slow with blur in Oneiric beta1[ATI report] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/841527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 841527] Re: Dash very slow with blur in Oneiric beta1[ATI report]
for me the situation is much better than before. Not sure other people. Tested with x1250 and 6310. performance is ok. Probably the drivers have improved. The tool for checking the performance seems a good idea. Specially if we find any more regressions in the future. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841527 Title: Dash very slow with blur in Oneiric beta1[ATI report] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/841527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 841527] Re: Dash very slow with blur in Oneiric beta1[ATI report]
I still think that one should look at the blur code before blacklisting. Blur should perform good on any GL 2.0+ hardware. And if it does not there must be a bug in the blur code. As I previously said - the blur plugin provided by compiz runs fine on the same hardware where the Unity Blur fails. Even if you fix the performance issue by throwing faster hardware at it, you still have higher power consumption. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841527 Title: Dash very slow with blur in Oneiric beta1[ATI report] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/841527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@jaytaoko: there will always been slow machines, so there is no need trying to optimize the blur for low-end HW (including my own thinkpad). Either the blur can run with them, or 1. de-activate upon detecting a slow machine 2. blacklist those GPUs and default to 2D.

If it is only slow because of the blur. It can be deactivated in CCSM: Ubuntu Unity Plugin Experimental tab Set Dash Blur to No Blur The consequences of blacklisting is that some systems will fall back to Unity 2D. Something I am not sure all the owners of such systems want. I have a Radeon X1950 pro that I can plug and see how it behaves with Precise right now.
