Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
When using compiz on dual head systems context/popup menus and maximising are delayed on the first screen by approximately 3 seconds.
This seems to be a common problem : http://
but I couldn't find it listed as a bug.
I can confirm it isn't effected by changing the fade-menus delay in compiz (or even turning it off entirely,) and it's not altered by changing the gnome menu delay in gconf. It does not seem to be any thing to do with CPU usage / video memory as both stay quiet during the delay.
It also only happens with GTK applications, KDE apps like amarok run without any delay on both heads.
This used to happen with Beryl when you loaded it on a dual head setup using --no-context-share, and was solved by running two instances on beryl for each screen. However compiz appears to no longer has this option, nor does it seems to respect the -display :0 / -display :1 options.
Thanks, and apologies if I have duplicated a bug.

My setup:
Gutsy beta, last updated 6th October, bug still present.
(Compiz 0.6.1)
Using two nvidia cards with nvidia driver. (although from forum posts, this doesn't seem to be exclusively affect nvidia users.)

I can second this bug report. I've had the exact same problem myself with Compiz. I have a dual-screen config running with a single 8800 GTX (2 DVI outputs) and the menu popups are just horribly slow to the point where it just becomes just unusable. Takes about 3 seconds for a menu to appear.
Running the latest Compiz version in gutsy.
