yesterday i also recognized big performance differences with java programms when using "EXA" with an older celeron and ati RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO]. Gtkperf performance is practically identical with EXA/XAA but java programs make a big difference (tvbrowser, netbeans). I use intrepid xserver and ati drivers.
Reverting to XAA made java programs useable again: Architecture: i386 Source: sun-java6 Version: 6-10-0ubuntu2 Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 Source: xorg-server Version: 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu1 -- Java plugin causes massive Xorg CPU usage, fixed by changing Xorg acceleration mode [i965GM] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238629 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
