Hi! Thanks for your answer. I'm not familiar with perf, could you give me a few pointers how and when to use it?
I'been monitoring the cpu usage of the compiz and x processes during the day (my coputer was running for days now). Compiz used 8-10%, X used usually around 40, but sometimes it went up to 80%. I killed the compiz process (it restarted), after that compiz and x processes are hardly using any cpu. here is i915_gem_objects before the compiz-killing: 3614 objects, 1480253440 bytes 2154 [226] objects, 854626304 [132976640] bytes in gtt 16 [2] active objects, 117428224 [16715776] bytes 2138 [224] inactive objects, 737198080 [116260864] bytes 185 unbound objects, 114356224 bytes 45 purgeable objects, 9420800 bytes 30 pinned mappable objects, 42258432 bytes 27 fault mappable objects, 1089536 bytes 2145386496 [268435456] gtt total Xorg: 2029 objects, 555544576 bytes (25067520 active, 274001920 inactive, 185163776 unbound) compiz: 794 objects, 635420672 bytes (117428224 active, 170696704 inactive, 291303424 unbound) chrome: 870 objects, 549015552 bytes (0 active, 407052288 inactive, 121958400 unbound) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201403 Title: Unity performance issue on intel gpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1201403/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
