I've tried a workaround since reporting this bug: I've installed Fedora
17 and it works great!
The most obvious improvement is that I now get gnome-3d (Ubuntu 12.04
always switched back to gnome-classic and I've never liked the Ubuntu
Desktop). I didn't do any measurements, but things even feel a bit
smoother (may be imagination, of course, but newer kernels *are*
supposed to do things more efficiently, aren't they?). All this confirms
that there is definitely no reason to turn this kind of hardware into
garbage as the Ubuntu team has done! I can easily run Open- or
LibreOffice. I can browse the web and watch videos (though I avoid
switching to full screen ;-)). I can even run Eclipse and do some
development work.
Of course, Fedora is a bit different and some packages are a bit more
tedious to install, but before you go out to buy new hardware, give it a
try!
