Public bug reported:

Whenever I set the power profile of my HD 4850 to "mid" using

echo "mid" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

the responsiveness of the UI degrades considerably. The windows move
slowly when dragging, and there's really bad tearing when scrolling on
any web browser. This doesn't happen with Unity-2D or other Window
Managers, and it didn't happen in 11.10's Unity.
