Public bug reported: For the past few days both Unity 3d and gnome-shell performance has been incredibly poor on precise. I suspect that the 3d drivers are to blame because both of those desktops experience this poor performance but unity-2d does not. Additionally the slowdowns happen during periods when the 3d graphics are actively doing something (i.e. reavealing the Unity launcher or moving a window in a composited environment), but when doing something that does not require the 3d graphics such as typing this comment there is no noticeable slowdown.
