Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
Sorry if this is filed under the wrong package.
Under exactly the same hardware configuration, Maverick always ran very swiftly and smoothly. Since switching to Natty, graphics are now very slow and lagged. This is most noticeable when using compiz zoom, before it was very smooth, now it's very choppy and difficult to use. It's also noticeable on ALT-Tabbing, sometimes it takes 3 seconds for the dialog to popup. Scrolling in applications is much more choppy than before. Makes the system feel slow and lagged despite having a very low system load and plenty of memory.
The same problems occur in Classic Desktop as well as Unity.

Worked very well with Maverick but now in Natty the hole desktop is very slow. The new 11.4 proprietary driver maybe could solve the problem?
