I did a further test, again with the initial configuration (Nvidia proprietary driver). I started ET Racer on a slope and maximized the window.
I then set the background of the gnome-terminal to transparent. The impact of the terminal maximized with top running in it equals the impact of the gnome-terminal made transparent using the Opacity..-Plugin in CCSM -> no impact. So I don't just have single parameter transparency being faster than unitys transparency, but also transparency where the font remains opaque - just like unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1010898 Title: unity transparency seems to use CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1010898/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
