Bug Description

This may be related to one of the other bugs, but I've noticed when running 3d games (eve online under Wine), if I run more than one client the performance can really be degraded (even more over time)... especially with 3 clients.

Recently I noticed (on 16.04, tested on about the 2nd of April), that when I started the 3rd client and performance dropped to 3-5fps, using 'expose' mode to select one of the windows immediately restored the frame rate to 15-20fps on all clients, and it remained high, even tho I returned to exactly the same set of windows with the same size etc...

This seems to be an enormous change in performance with no actual "change" which must point to some problem (presumably in Compiz), perhaps this might have the same root cause as some of the other issues.
