The log seems to indicate that you're experiencing this Atom bug, so
here is the right place...

Here is my unity8.log with INTEL_DEBUG=perf. It's quite obscure for me
as I'm not a developer, but I did find the problems you mentioned it
your comments. I'll let you check!

The original bug description is a bit vague here. In comment #3 I was
aiming to make this bug very definite. If you add INTEL_DEBUG=perf then
you will see the errors I mentioned. I think this bug should be about
those errors in comment #3 since the bug description is a bit too vague.

Did a few tests, dialogs with a black/transparent backgrounds are
definitely the worst (Terminal password prompt, shut down dialog, set a
code or password in System Settings, connect to a hidden wifi network).
The dialog can take up to 20s to fully open. Even then, they remain
slow, for example whe
well, if it is a dialog-specific problem it could be worth having a
separate bug, that only tackles dialog. otherwise you end up fixing too
many things as part of the same bug

that is interesting, it might be useful to see if that happens for all dialogs

probably worth reporting a bug against ubuntu-ui-toolkit to investigate that

Hi,
I don't know if this is useful, but on my netbook the worst performance comes
from black and transparent overlays, like when the Terminal asks for a password
or when you want to turn off your computer. In those cases the frame time is
more than 1s, sometimes 2s. I have to hard reboot every t

In Unity8 I'm seeing four cases of:
i915_program_error: Exceeded max ALU instructions (76 out of 64)
So there are potentially four offending shaders.

Looking at the i915 bug report, it seems like the distance field text
rendering shader in Qt has too much instructions (in its HQ version) and
exceeds the number of texture indirections, would be interesting to
check if the distance field UbuntuShape shader has the same issue.
It would also be int
Thanks for that.
Unfortunately I see no improvement in performance with those variables. And no
reduction in the frequency of:

Googling around I found this:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87478
which puts some blame on Qt's shaders for distance field text rendering.
Happier news is that Qt has options to either use a lower quality
distance field rendering approach (fewer ALU instructions) or disabling

Successful proof of concept fix in eglplasma! Just shortening the shaders to
fit i915 makes the error go away, and everything renders orders of magnitude
faster:

The fallback to software rendering also completely explains "Qt's

Adding INTEL_DEBUG=perf to /etc/environment has seemingly explained the
problems. Atoms are falling back to software rendering(!), which is
theoretically easy to avoid. Here's a summary of what I get in
unity8.log on an Atom N270:
