window performance sluggish in 2.6.15-25-686 vs 2.6.15-23-686

[Brian Eaton]

This morning I was prompted to upgrade around 80 package in my Dapper Drake installation. I upgraded all of them. After rebooting, starting applications such as firefox and gnome-terminal from the gnome application panel was noticeably slower.

Before: clicking the firefox icon in the gnome panel started firefox in less than half a second.
After: clicking the firefox icon in the gnome panel started firefox in about a second. It was possible to watch the "zooming window" effect progress slowly across the screen.

The problem does not occur when I boot 2.6.15-23-686 instead of 2.6.15-25-686.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'linux-image'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.

Prior to this batch of upgrades, the problem did not occur.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you still have this issue with the latest release of Ubuntu?

[Brian Eaton (eaton-lists)]

This problem was fixed about a year ago, but I'm glad to see you guys have some time to clear out the bug database. See bug 30557 for a complete description of the problem and the fix.
