It does sounds like compiz' high CPU usage is probably why unity feels slow. Could you please try gathering some compiz profile information by...
1. INSTALLATION sudo apt-get install linux-tools-common Then you also need the package specific for your kernel. You can find out what it is called by running "perf". That will tell you what you need. 2. RECORD PERFORMANCE Start this and let it run for a while: perf record -p `pidof compiz` Then stop it with Ctrl+C. 3. CREATE A REPORT In the same directory (where perf record created file 'perf.data'), run: perf report > compizperf.txt And attach the file compizperf.txt to this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997170 Title: Unity 3D is slow with NVIDIA driver 295.49 and GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M.
