Bug Description

The problem is related to blur, when it is active the system hangs for a few minutes every time you open the dash or transparent elements, such as new dialogs (shutdown, hibernate, suspend etc..), It also happens to other users with this type of netbook and problems also in Raring which were then resolved. Sorry for my english, but I hope it is understood.

This should be partly fixed (for tooltips and quicklists) at least by lp:1233109... I'd probably need a low powered machine to verify the other cases.

Changed in unity:
status:	New → Triaged
importance:	Undecided → High
milestone:	none → 7.1.1
summary:	- Unity Blur + Unity Blur is slow in low powered machines
