I have an N270 netbook I'm testing performance fixes on too. With that hardware I found the best performance (by far) is with: 1. Install ppa:vanvugt/compiz 2. Install ppa:vanvugt/unity 3. Open ccsm and in Workarounds set "Force full screen redraws..." = ON With any luck, steps 1 & 2 will be buil

2012-01-28 Thread Daniel van Vugt
Michael, I thought about it and using a debugger may be appropriate. Because callgrind (and valgrind in general) will slow down compiz/unity to an almost unusable speed. You won't want to run it that way for long enough to even reproduce the gradual degradation. Also, the "gradual degradation" will

Thanks for explaining what compiz really is. I'm sure it's not an issue for people using "real" cpus. But for me on my atom n270 netbook, I just can't spare the cycles. I've switched to lubuntu desktop. I like it it. I think Unity 3D is nice, and it was quite usable even on my hardware. But l

The crash has happened two times. 1:st time directly after boot after upgrading to the 3.2.0-11 kernel and in this case I was not able to file a bug report as the keyboard wasn't working. After this I booted the system in recovery mode and selected Resume normal boot in the menu. This worked OK.

Michael, to find the cause of high CPU usage you need a profiler, not a debugger. Most profilers need special code compiled in to your application, but Valgrind has a plugin Callgrind that works with any existing binary (as do all valgrind plugins): http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/cl-manual.
