** Description changed:

  I downloaded the development version of 14.04, one issue that I've
  experienced so far is that the fade in of the greeter after resume from
  suspend is very slow. I have opted out on the fade in/out effects in
  compiz configuration settings, why do I get fade in/out for the greeter
  and is it possible to increase the speed of the fade?
  
  It also is a noticable delay for visual feedback (*) when entering a
  password character in the password prompt.

  I tried to install the linux performance tool - perf -. to get an idea
  of what's happening. While in the unity-greeter I ran in a console
  
      sudo perf record -a -g
  
  then holding the 'a'-key in the password field for 10-15 seconds
  
  and then
  
     sudo perf report

  it seems like much time in used by compiz process and r300_dri.so?
  
  In the compiz  setting manager for openGL plugin I disabled "FrameBuffer
  object"/"Vertex Buffer object" and "Always use Buffer swapping" options.
  And the fade in/out is faster now.

+ 
+ This testing was based on a 32-bit 14.04 running on a 64-bit processor
+ 
+     *-cpu
+           product: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU         T5600  @ 1.83GHz
+           vendor: Intel Corp.
+          
+ I've no upgraded my system to 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10, and its noticable more 
performant (e.g video rendering in fullscreen). So lesson learned: if available 
run 64-bit OS on 64-bit processor.
