I've never used the wobbly windows plugin. In my experience the amount of open windows determines the performance problem. No windows and it seems to be working fine, but even 1 window results in a noticeable frame drop. And I'm using 5 desktop all packed with windows and virtual machines causing to drop the performance to a frame a second (or worse).

Nope, but id did just now, but the performance stays the same. I did upgrade a small laptop which is using a nVidia 8400M GS chip to Meercat Alpha 2+ and it's performing way better.. Don't know exactly what changed (yet), but is seems to use the same Compiz and nVidia driver. My nvidia-settings have the same version as the driver (256.35), delaying it's startup seems to make a little difference until I open lots of windows, which actually is kinda the same as this issue in general. The more windows the less the frames per second seem to be. Will investigate the difference between Lucid and Meercat concerning this issue when I've got some spare time left.

I agree with u Chauncellor. This is suppose to be a constructive to help with this issue. Again i'm sorry I did vent my frustration about another regression that made me somewhat agitated within this bug report. Don't really see why the 80% cross platform code should be a problem besides it's being proprietary. In fact, this is the reason why it's performing like it does. I do love the nouveau initiative, but it's just not there yet. I do agree nvidia doesn't support new developments very well, but this issue isn't a nvidia only problem. The problem is not that nvidia launched a new driver which broke things. The problem is something else changed causing this behavior. It all worked fine before with the same drivers. This could be new development which nvidia lacks to support, but it could be very well another problem entirely. This issue should have been picked up immediately when it was posted. But till this day it's still not being worked on while it affects a large group of user. That's the only reason why I got somewhat frustrated about it. Users don't care if it's proprietary or not, but do care if it works, especially since it worked fine before.

Firstly: Can someone confirm if post 13 is on to something with the libgnome-window-settings problem? Secondly: Can someone see if updating the drivers works? It's up to version 256.35 right now. Thirdly: Can someone see if updating Compiz works? It's up to version 0.8.6 right now (Ubuntu is still on 0.8.4). I hear that 0.9 is on the way with major changes. Maybe snagging a beta could help as well. I would do it myself (and would have long ago) but I have absolutely minimal internet (very limited dial-up). I'm sorry but I cannot test.

Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu: New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nvidia-settings
As per this forum post:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469528
In a nutshell, when nvidia-settings --load-config-only is run on startup
(which is a default action), compiz performance becomes rather terrible.
This has been confirmed on both fresh install and upgrade.
The workaround is to disable the action on startup. However, manually going
to the nvidia-settings program will bring compiz down to its knees again (at
least in my case: I believe another person had no problem).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 574069] Re: [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance
I've tried everything i've read, but none seem to solve it. Using Ubuntu without Compiz degrades the desktop from an usability perspective to a Windows XP level. I don't really care about cubes or anything (although they look nice) but the expo and dragging windows to different views has become the ultimate way of managing many windows which no other desktop environment can match. What bothers me the most is not that things don't work, but that things that worked perfectly fine a release ago are regressed to pretty much useless. This is just not especially for a LTS release not exceptable. Sorry for my somewhat biased reaction but this issue is open for 3 months now and it seems nobody tries to resolve it.

To those unhappy: You agreed to install proprietary drivers on your computer, and Ubuntu can do very little about what they give us. Reason: You call them great drivers. 80 percent of the code is cross platform and if it weren't they probably wouldn't give you anything at all. Use the Nouveau drivers. Those are supported drivers. Excuse the deviation but this is not a forum to post unhappy messages. Try the workarounds, try newer drivers/kernels/xorgs (but only if you know what you're doing), try as much of a fix as is possible with this blob, and then post on here. Nvidia may be the only one with decent performance but they are still poor with their support. We cannot do anything at all besides find a version that they fixed for us.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 574069] Re: [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance
I have issues with Compiz performance in Expo only. Sometimes it will be silky smooth, other times it'll stutter at 30-40fps. It seems to be totally random, and changes upon reboot. Window movement is silky smooth all the time. I've been doing some experimenting. Turning off sync to vblank in compiz config settings manager makes Expo work fast. Sync to vblank in nvidia- settings seems to have no effect on compiz being sync'd or not (yes I restart compiz after changing the setting). My setup is a Phenom 9850 (2.5GHz, 4 cores), GeForce GTX260 216 OC, 4Gb DDR2-800, Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64, Samsung 225BW (1680x1050 LCD). Compiz is set to not detect refresh rate, forced to 120 frames per second. Currently, sync to vblank causes slow performance with compiz, and with it disabled, compiz uses about 68% of a single core @ 2.5GHz and 1.25GHz (makes no difference) going in and out of Expo constantly. I'll have to test further when I happen to get good performance on boot up.

I can confirm that delaying the start of nvidia-settings resolves the issue until I start opening many windows, and then it reappears, even if I haven't launched nvidia-settings yet. The more windows open, the worse the problem is.

Idea: I noticed that gnome desktop takes more than it used to in previous releases. At first, I tought it was nautilus pre-loaded instance that was slow to load. But now I think it trough, it is much more possible that it is COMPIZ who takes so long to load, much more than in previous releases (at least on my pc). With loosee bindings enabled (which is required for nvidia chips as far as I know) may it be possible that bindings to opengl libraries are screwed if nvidia- settings are applied BEFORE compiz finish to load?

Since I needed to start certain applications after Compiz, I wrote a script for that, and the applications called in it start about 0.5-1 second after the panels. I have also moved the nvidia-settings line in it now: http://www.dasprids.de/blog/2010/05/01/start-applications-delayed-after- compiz -- [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in ubuntu. ___ 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 574069] Re: [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance
This has started happening for me after the update on 5h May 2010 - I think there was an update for compiz together with new kernel 2.6.32-22. My compiz goes up to 80% cpu after moving any window, everything is sluggish. This does not happen when I turn off visual effects.

I have just done: aptitude install libgnome-window-settings1=1:2.30.0-0ubuntu4 and compiz is back to normal. I suspect this package (its version 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1) caused my compiz to go berserk after upgrade on 5th May.

It was also noticed in the post he linked by Chauncellor himself, that visiting Launchpad website in Firefox may slow down effects again... (I'm writing this from office in Windows, so I can't reproduce right now!) I'll try it again this evening at home, but yesterday the Launchpad slowdown happened to me even with settings startup entry disabled. -- [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in ubuntu. ___ 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 574069] Re: [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance
I don't think that the firefox bug is related to this. I'm using metacity right now and it is still very painful to scroll up and down (dragging the window around is pretty awful, too). I believe this is a separate bug that needs reporting. -- [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in ubuntu. ___ 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 574069] Re: [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance
Another workaround is a script like this to launch at startup in place of nvidia-settings: #!/bin/bash sleep 5 nvidia-settings --load-config-only This doesn't kill compiz performances, however I use Google Chrome so I didn't tested firefox, I'll do it this evening and report here asap -- [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in ubuntu. ___ 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 574069] Re: [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance
** Description changed: Binary package hint: nvidia-settings As per this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469528 In a nutshell, when nvidia-settings --load-config-only is run on startup (which is a default action), compiz performance becomes rather terrible. This has been confirmed on both fresh install and upgrade. The workaround is to disable the action on startup. However, manually going to the nvidia-settings program will bring compiz down to its knees again (at least in my case: I believe another person had no problem).
