I guess it is due to compiz, which is more heavy than mutter. Why don't use mutter then? Unity doesn't use eff

Unity is noticeably MUCH faster even on my low-spec netbook. Mutter uses 20% of cpu with falf the frame rate on it, while Compiz eats about

Own up a large number roof different applications, and the load that Unity/Compiz handles without a hitch brings the frame rates in Gnome Shell/Mutter crashing down. Mutter will seem smoother at first, but this tells me that it's inferior in terms of resource management. On Jan 29, 2012 3:34 PM, "J
