Hi,

I noticed something when using compiz fusion especially.

When i set the DisplaySize parameter to set the dpi to 96 (as per this guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg7#Display_Size.2FDPI) , compiz fusion performance increased dramatically. It felt like i was using a new high end card, the performance was so smooth, and the UI felt more responsive

I think its not compiz fusion, but rather X performance itself which benefits from setting the DPI, (as regular KDE without compiz also seems more responsive), therefore for gutsy it might be a good idea to actually focus on getting it right on installation.

I am using Kubuntu Gutsy with the radeon driver on a 15" laptop screen (1024x768). X had set my dpi by default to 75 after setting dpi manually, UI responsiveness is fantastic!

Thanks and regards,
Bharat
