Bug 888039: Compiz performance degrades (begins stuttering) over time Bug 861061: [regression] Unity makes 3D apps run much slower: Actually, Unity makes all apps stutter and slow. It's mostly noticeable in 3D apps where you care about and often measure framerates. Bug 880707: [regression] Visible tearing occurs even when "Sync To VBlank" is enabled, but only when Unity is active: It might not sound related, but the fix we're working on for 880707 should reduce stuttering and improve compiz performance in general. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763005 Title: Compiz's "Sync to Vblank" makes display stutter/slow with some drivers (like fglrx) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/763005/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
