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.

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.

So far 4.28.0 is working nicely on my system, although after switching external monitors a couple of times, I did notice a massive slowdown in the framerate obtained using optirun glxspheres (ie using the nvidia card via VirtualGL). It slowed down from 150fps after booting to only 60-70fps. (Note that just using glxspheres by itself gave ~59.1 fps instead of ~59.6 fps, so there wasn't a big difference there).

[Bug 861061] Re: [regression] All apps have a lower frame rate under Unity.
After a little more testing, I have found that disabling the Unity plugin from Compiz-Config Settings Manager still increases performance. I don't have any scientific test or benchmark but I was running a video totem and noticed the following observations: **Unity Plugin Enabled** -Video seems to play ok windowed but when I drag it around the screen it doesn't move smoothly (I have wobbly windows enabled and this really shows up the lag) -Full screen video is not smooth **Unity Plugin Disabled*** -Video plays fine and there is hardly any noticeable lag when wobbling/dragging the video round the screen -Full screen video seems to be smooth So the difference is certainly noticeable, at least under some conditions. For everyday use, the difference is less noticeable but Videos and Wobbly Windows are more noticeable when there's a lag. So for me, this patch is a great improvement but I don't think it's totally resolved yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861061 Title: [regression] All apps have a lower frame rate under Unity.

Sorry I didn't realise I wasn't subscribed to this bug - sorry it's taken me so long to reply.

[Bug 861061] Re: [regression] All apps have a lower frame rate under Unity.
I've just installed all the packages from your PPAs (both Unity and Compiz) and I find that whilst the performance is slightly better than it was before, it's still not as good as it was in Natty (or in the Oneiric default version of Compiz with Unity plugin disabled). I'm using a ATI Radeon X1250 with the radeon open source driver - the proprietary driver doesn't support my graphics card any more. So unless I've made some mistakes during the installation, which is very possible, it seems that these packages don't fix everything for me. I haven't done any proper benchmarks but I can see two main differences: -1 The animations seem to play properly now - by that I mean that although everything seems to happen in slow motion, they are not 'jerky' as they were before -2 The system feels a bit more responsive, especially to keyboard input when typing. There is still a noticeable lag between pressing a key and the character appearing on screen but nowhere near as much as before I installed the patch -3 Previously, I could get perfect performance (as I had in Natty) with Compiz with the Unity plugin disabled. Now disabling the Unity plugin doesn't help at all and the problems with the performance remain.

@EliCoten: Regarding when you are using the unity plugin, how recently did you install from the PPA? As of a few days ago there is a new distribution release of unity which gets installed in preference to the PPA's version.

Great, trying them now on my Sandy Bridge setup.

Thanks! Just installed them both on my laptop with an Nvidia NVS 140M and a C2D T9300. First impressions: - I can also confirm the increase of the number of fps in glxspheres to ~140 just after logging in. This is identical to the results in gnome-shell. - No tearing when moving windows around Downsides: - Aggregate CPU usage of compiz, unity and X is constantly above 5% (3% compiz, 1% unity and more than 1% X). Gnome-shell typically uses just 1-2%. - After several minutes of using chrome, thunderbird and other applications, glxspheres frame rate dropped to 40-70fps. Other thoughts: - enabling of chrome flags GPU compositing on all pages and GPU Accelerated Canvas 2D has quite a detrimental effect on frame-rates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861061 Title: [regression] All apps have a lower frame rate under Unity.

[Bug 861061] Re: [regression] All apps have a lower frame rate under Unity.
Experimental fixes for this and related performance bugs are now available for testing in ppa:vanvugt/compiz and ppa:vanvugt/unity. For the best results I recommend trying both together. But testing them individually is useful too. IMPORTANT NOTES: * The fixes in ppa:vanvugt/compiz REQUIRE that Sync To VBlank is ENABLED in CompizConfig Settings Manager (OpenGL section). This is the default setting when Ubuntu 11.10 is installed. * When using ppa:vanvugt/compiz you should DISABLE the workaround Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint in CompizConfig Settings Manager (Workarounds section). This is the default setting when Ubuntu 11.10 is installed. * I don't claim to have fixed all tearing. I only claim that the amount of tearing in oneiric with the fix is no longer worse than in natty. * nouveau: If you are using the nouveau driver for NVIDIA chips you will need to enable sync-to-vblank support in the driver options because nouveau has it disabled by default. You can do this by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and adding: Section Device Identifier My Graphics Option GLXVBlank on EndSection Then log out and in again for it to take effect. * fglrx (Catalyst): The fglrx driver also disables sync-to-vBlank support by default. To fix this: 1. Open Catalyst Control Center. 2. Go to 3D More Settings. 3. Set Wait for vertical refresh to On, unless application specifies. * Please don't try using the Benchmark plugin in compiz-plugins-extra because it is broken and misleading (bug 898548). Please leave feedback in the relevant bug reports. - Daniel --- ppa:vanvugt/compiz | https://launchpad.net/~vanvugt/+archive/compiz compiz (1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6vv2) oneiric * Added proposed fix for inaccurate frame timing causing tearing and stuttering.
