Alberts, I'm sorry, the (new) client that I tested with is giving me very inconsistent results, even by just rebooting it, and I'm not going to use it in benchmarks again in the future. It's a 3-year-old AMD-based laptop; maybe the problem is in the radeon driver or in its power states, anyway, please ignore my results in comment #11.
I tested again with the client from comment #7 (an old intel 8xx based laptop), and I reproduced what you said, i.e. that your patches indeed made metacity fast again: no-wm: 481.234 compiz: 473.248 xenial-metacity --no-composite: 294.148 xenial-metacity --composite: 177.516 fixed-metacity --no-composite: 470.791 fixed-metacity --composite: 283.285 marco --no-composite: 471.382 marco --composite: 286.939 xcompmgr: 291.370 I also confirmed the performance increase in the i5 desktop from comment #5. @Alberts, thank you very much, you're awesome! @Dmitry, could we please get those patches in Xenial? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1566157 Title: Metacity's compositing is too slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1566157/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
