Maybe you're using a compositing window manager?
Everything is still ok here with Ubuntu 14.04 and the gnome-flashback 
session (metacity window manager without effects).

If you think that graphics in general are slower, and it's not a 
window-manager/compositing issue, then try x11perf, gtkperf or something 
similar to compare the results with the older installation.
