mnzy please tell us which graphics card and which graphics driver does your system have.
more people should confirm this effect with gnome-settings-daemon. if that were the case: I think mnzy comments are quite interesting. we would have that gnome-settings-daemon is currently a thing that offers a small aesthetic improvement at the expense of damaging noticeably the responsiveness of the whole GUI. I think we should not think about these cases in terms of "is users fault; their systems are ancient" because this is the windows vista's approach to computer resources and as we all know, this approach fails. Finally, I think gnome-settings-daemon should stop doing (or doing much faster) 20% of the things that causes 80% of this noticeable performance drop. (say 20/80, say 10/90 or whatever). Well, I'm saying all this mainly because I have the same recurring feeling: few days after ubuntu installations, my excitation about new features drives away and then I begin to notice that gnome is (still) too slow, and the more I use it the more I notice it.
