** Description changed: Binary package hint: compiz glxgears shows the following fps on my Nvidia 8600GT card when compiz is running: 173.14.12 driver: Hardy, 32 bit: 4900 fps Hardy, 64 bit: 5000 fps Intrepid, 32 bit: 4200 fps 177.80 driver: Intrepid, 32 bit: 3000 fps ie there is a massive 40% in performance between Hardy using the old and Intrepid using the new driver and a 15% drop if both use the old driver. With compiz disabled, all combinations of O/S and driver show around 5800 fps. So with the new 177.80 driver, compiz is reducing glxgear performance by close to 50%.
