Bug Description
I have Quantal Beta 1 installed in a Virtual Box VM, since unity-2d is no longer available it should be doing 3D rendering in software as a fallback since Virtual Box doesn't expose 3D hardware acceleration properly. Any form of 3D animation takes, roughly, five to ten times as long as it should. Opening the dash by clicking the Dash Home button takes about twenty seconds and you can watch the little spinner in the corner step through its animation in discreet chunks. Opening a new window of any application it's also possible to watch the window opening animation in stages. Operations within an application, scrolling, etc. aren't noticeably slower than on Precise, so I'm inclined to call this a unity bug but it's entirely possible it's not.
I'm keeping the Quantal VM around for testing, so if you need further information or debugging output, let me know and I'll be happy to provide it.
