After upgrading to the latest Ubuntu (9.04 aka Jaunty), my system has been VERY sluggish. Videos didn't play back properly. Xorg was chewing up a minimum of 30% CPU almost all the time, even if nothing was going on... even if I disabled the compositing effects in KDE4's Kwin window manager.
This seemed to help :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 I'm still a bit annoyed at how sluggish this one year old laptop is getting to be, and am starting to wonder if I should just switch to command-line all the time, or maybe Xfce. Or maybe I can hook up a null modem adapter to my Atari 8-bit. (I'll need to get a 1200XL, though, because they have the kickassest keyboards.) I'd probably look pretty funny at Common Grounds with a 13" monitor though, huh? ;) -- -bill!
