cairo: [nvidia-302] Slow chromium tab switching with cairo-1.12.0 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/49534 chromium: Slow tab switching http://crbug.com/121624 Workaround 1: # nvidia-settings -a InitialPixmapPlacement=0 Workaround 2: Pinning package to 1.10.2-7. Workaround 3: Building recent libcairo with patch changing src/cairo-xlib-display.c by setting display->buggy_gradients to be always TRUE. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=80382 (Consider pinning it too, in case of future libcairo2 updates still lacking the fix.) Currently I'm successfully using the 3rd solution. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libcairo2 depends on: ii libc6 2.13-33 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-6 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1 ii libpixman-1-0 0.26.0-3 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxcb-render0 1.8.1-1 ii libxcb-shm0 1.8.1-1 ii libxcb1 1.8.1-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.7-1 ii multiarch-support 2.13-33 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 libcairo2 recommends no packages. libcairo2 suggests no packages.
