OK, So I've finally been able to do a bit of testing with Ubuntu 14.04 If run without 3d support on llvmpipe, it's very CPU-hungry. A bit more so than Ubuntu 13.04 AFAICT. For Ubuntu on VMware this becomes troublesome primarily on ESX, but the problems were introduced with the drop of Unity 2D. I haven't dug thoroughly into why it hurts so much on ESX. Could it perhaps be that Unity / Compiz is performing full-screen flips when only a part of the screen is updated?
Also we have severe performance problems when running fully 3D accelerated with workstation / fusion on multi-monitor setups. That's partly due to how the VMware device updates screens but Ubunut 14.04 stands out as particularly slow here. Also needs further investigation... /Thomas -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293384 Title: Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1293384/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
