Bad performance in Ubuntu 12.10

[Silas Lenz]

After the upgrade to 12.10, from 12.04 the graphic performance has been horrible. Before everything was running smoothly, and now i get about 10fps in a simple game as "And yet it moves" or "Machinarium".
Youtube HTML5 seems to work fine, but that is most likely rendered on the cpu.

[Sam Spilsbury (smspillaz)]

The OpenGL performance hit is a known issue at the moment, see bug 1049214 for the biggest problem with nvidia users (in progress) and bug 1024304 generally

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[CSRedRat (csredrat)]

Have bad performance on comparing with 12.04 on virtual machine under Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 SP1. Graphics is too slow, but other things is perfect.
