Comment 73 for bug 416073

To be honest I feel there is a moderate but well-measurable increase of the graphical performance in the new Ubuntu Oneiric.
Now I have Extreme Tux Racer performance in the range 20-25 FPS (~25% comparing to the previous 15-20 FPS that I mentioned above), all on the same laptop with the same intel video card. Similar increase can be noted in the most other 3d applications that I have. In particular, KWin performance is better than it was even in Karmic. This I can note clearly, because in the previous Ubuntu KWin was so slow that I turned it off permanently. Now I do not turn it off even for fullscreen graphical apps, and the performance is good (notice I do not set the option of auto-suspending KWin for fullscreen apps, i.e. KWin continues to work as usually in such a case).
