I confirm that I can see this bug also when using Catalyst (fglrx) drivers (both the version available in Oneiric and later versions avaiable from AMD's website).
In my case the issue is exacerbated by the number of active X clients. Closing some windows slightly improves the situation. However, I noticed this behavior in addition to performance degradation over time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888039 Title: Gradual degradation in desktop performance.
