Comment 15 for bug 996343

This bug should have a high priority. With Valve wanting to put their chips into Ubuntu, Unity out of the box needs to be able to keep up with the others. Looking at these benchmarks: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1210beta_desktops&num=1

This IS NOT the case. When running fullscreen opengl applications, there needs to be a way to disable desktop effects or something that will get the framerate to where it should be. Otherwise I could definitely see new users thinking, "I'll give Linux a try." use Ubuntu, have a terrible gaming experience (Due to low frames) and either go back to Windows, or buy an Apple PC.

I know I sound a bit crazy, but Linux's big chance is coming up, and we have to be ready if we want this to take off.
