Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
Frecuently, when I have the compiz benchmark activated, the
sistem slows and use a lot of processor (about 16%, the normal is about 1,3 or
2 whit any programs oppened), freezing gently the sistem, and showing 33 fps
whitouth doing anything (in this case the normal in my machine is 250 fps), but
when i disable this window (super + f12) it runs better but slowest than the
first case mentioned (when the window is enabled and it is working fine). I
can't show now this window (benchmark) because when i move any window the
animations are very slow.
It happens whit the version of compiz in the repositories.
-------
Now, whit the launchpad version (0.7.6) I have other problems (I don't test if it happens whit the previous version):
reported in http://
FIRST: When I move any window, wobbly plugin works very slow, but when the
compiz benchmark window is displayed (super + f12), the wobbly plugin works
very fast and fine!
Also, when the compiz benchmark window is displayed, if I open a new window,
the animation effects (confirmed: "Lámpara Mágica" or magic lamp effect and
"Doblado con curvas" or doubled whth curves, I suppose that is known in
English) works faster and better!
I thought they were hardware limitations but apparently are not and they can
run better and faster (i have an nvidia fx 5200 with 128 mb of video memory)
The Cube Reflection And Deformation plugin have the same problem (It run
extremely better when i'm displaing the compiz benchmark plugin!)
I'm using the version 0.7.6 and I can't test now but I thing this problem
exists in the previous version
SECOND: Also, frecuently, when I have the compiz benchmark activated, the
sistem slows and use a lot of processor (about 16%, the normal is about 1,3 or
2 whit any programs oppened), freezing gently the sistem, and showing 33 fps
whitouth doing anything (in this case the normal in my machine is 250 fps), but
when i disable this window (super + f12) it runs better but slowest than the
first case mentioned (when the window is enabled and it is working fine). I
can't show now this window (benchmark) because when i move any window the
animations are very slow
In the previous version of compiz, i had the same problem!
Sorry if my english isn't very good, I'm from argentina. Good work,
congratulations!
Greetings!
