I tested Unity on old hardware (Pentium 4, Intel 82865G), using the workaround in comment #24: It is so slow there is no thought of using it. It takes seconds until the dash even opens, and 10-20 seconds more, until it displays any icons. This system was very well usable with Unity 2d.
If this is the performance users of older hardware get from quantal, there *will* be a public relations problem. Performance must be drastically improved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039155 Title: Unity fails to load on old hardware (blank desktop, only wallpaper).
