Title:
  Unity8-dash render time is too high, causing frame skipping

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Unity8-dash render time is too high, causing frame skipping

  On a 60Hz display you have 16.6ms per frame. So to keep things running
  smoothly your render time should be much lower than 16.6ms.

  $ restart unity8-dash MIR_CLIENT_PERF_REPORT=log 
MIR_CLIENT_FORCE_SWAP_INTERVAL=0
  $ tail -f ~/.cache/upstart/unity8-dash.log

  MAKO:

  [2016-04-01 11:38:54.086901] perf: : 69.00 FPS, render time 13.96ms, buffer 
lag 29.76ms (3 buffers)
  [2016-04-01 11:38:55.103637] perf: : 73.81 FPS, render time 13.00ms, buffer 
lag 27.33ms (3 buffers)
  [2016-04-01 11:38:56.111953] perf: : 67.46 FPS, render time 14.19ms, buffer

  ARALE:

  [2016-04-01 11:41:43.467067] perf: : 52.31 FPS, render time 18.54ms, buffer 
lag 61.60ms (3 buffers)
  [2016-04-01 11:41:44.491750] perf: : 53.71 FPS, render time 18.01ms, buffer 
lag 37.43ms (3 buffers)
  [2016-04-01 11:41:45.504621] perf: : 55.33 FPS, render time 17.53ms, buffer 
lag 37.03ms (3 buffers)

  Note(1): I have used MIR_CLIENT_FORCE_SWAP_INTERVAL=0 because it works
  around a problem with the Android platform's
  MIR_CLIENT_PERF_REPORT=log being rounded up to the next frame
  interval. It also has the nice benefit of showing peak frame rate
  possible on a device (e.g. 73 FPS on mako above).

  Note(2): Yes you can use the same benchmark on 'unity8' instead of
  'unity8-dash' however the results will be inaccurate -- limited and
  rounded to whole frames due to bug 1369763.

  Note(3): This is all possibly related to bug 1494795.
