I was waiting for an update before reporting that I was affected. I have installed 295.49 and it has not fixed my problem. The same issue exists with 259.33 and 259.40. This is new behavior in 12.04.
I have a G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (from lshw) When I first boot up, video is fast. After a period of time, certain applications become very slow, taking seconds to do what had previously been instantaneous. A graph using the rgl package in R, for example, comes up as a grey box for several seconds, and resizing the box takes seconds. When I first boot, all of this is instantaneous. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982710 Title: [regression] Nvidia 295.40 driver is extremely slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/982710/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
