ok I think here we are facing a real nvidia driver problem. You can read my various test on my two system on bug 144216 comments.
I can both experience the slow tab switching problem and also some strongly javascript based sites (like www.netvibes.com that I use everyday) are *really* slow with nvidia+compiz, while are really fast without them. I think I will point these two bugs to nvidia tomorrow. You think compiz team is aware about this? This problems definitely does not allow me to use compiz and friends on my laptop and the nvidia driver as well. I need them to develop application... And Dell, too, they sell this systems with Ubuntu 7.10, they should care about this problem... ** Tags added: nvidia -- high cpu load because of JavaScript https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185469 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
