Hi all. One of the computers on which I use OpenSolaris is a Toshiba Satellite U205 (Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller). Admittedly, my (organic) memory is notoriously faulty, but I swear that on this particular box the Compiz performance was considerably better under Linux. Not a complaint, mind you: I can certainly live a full and meaningful life without bouncing windows and rotating cubes. ;-)
Anyhoo... Until today this box had only 1GB RAM. It now has 4GB and is remarkably more performant and a joy on which to run OpenSolaris. So I thought I'd revisit the use of Compiz. My subjective impression is that an improvement in performance exists, but is negligible. So, were you a betting man/woman, which would you place your money on? 1. Faulty organic memory (i.e. it wasn't good under Linux either) 2. Something unique to OpenSolaris 3. Something related to Compiz 4. Something related to Xorg 5. Something else And, yes, I've googled some already. But given that this is an area I'm largely unfamiliar with, I'd be most grateful for a nudge towards the right/relevant docs and/or fix, should one exist. Thanks much in advance! Take care. --joanie
