yeah, it's exactly the same with me and my netbook (asus eeepc 1005ha, intel atom 1.6 ghz, intel gma 950, intel ssd, 1 gb ram). i tested maverick since beta, when the slow-down was exactly the same. first, i was like: "well, it's a beta, what do you expect?" but then i thought a few years back and never encountered a situation when ubuntu's performance was even slightly sluggish. i don't have a clue what happened this time. it just annoys me that this serious bug wasn't fixed ever since, even though the problem was common and known. it's the same with the rc, too. and since the review from mrmental is not exactly positive, i better stay away from maverick until this issue with mutter is resolved.
well, it's not too bad, after all, since lucid lynx is running pretty damn nice since its release. but new ubuntu / gnu/linux users may be disappointed in the poor performance, switch back to windows and start a flame war about ubuntu and and even free software in general. and that's the most important goal to reach by inhibiting that. all the best!
