I downloaded the development version of 14.04, one issue that I've experienced so far is that the fade in of the greeter after resume from suspend is very slow. I have opted out on the fade in/out effects in compiz configuration settings, why do I get fade in/out for the greeter and is it possible to increase the speed of the fade?

It also is a noticable delay for visual feedback (*) when entering a password character in the password prompt.

I tried to install the linux performance tool - perf -. to get an idea of what's happening. While in the unity-greeter I ran in a console

    sudo perf record -a -g

then holding the 'a'-key in the password field for 10-15 seconds

and then

   sudo perf report

it seems like much time in used by compiz process and r300_dri.so?
