[Bug 877438] Re: [8xxx] Unity/compiz has sluggish performance on dual-head with nvidia driver
Have been reminded of this bug, and thought I'd post a follow-up on my own experiences. I noticed that my desktop would run smoothly at first, then once I had a few windows open, it went slow. I used the "nvidia-smi" utility to monitor the memory usage on the GPU, and noticed that as I opened more windows, the memory usage would reach 90-95%. Once it reached that level, the desktop became very slow. If I closed windows until the memory usage dropped before 90%, everything sped up again. My solution was to purchase another video card. The old one had 256 MB of video RAM, the new one has 1024, and thus I don't reach that troublesome state any more.

Same problem on DELL laptop with NVIDIA Corporation G98M [Quadro NVS 160M] (rev a1) connected to docking station with external (1920*1200) monitor. It starts to get hotter at my workplace with the summer nearby and GPU temperature seems to go up to 80+°C Once this happens the whole X session slows down and all applications start to take more CPU. I have the impression the graphics card somehow throttles down to almost unusable speed.

The changelog doesn't specifically list a fix for this type of problem, but it does list a few performance fixes, and would be worth re-testing.
