Comment 103 for bug 803943

After the recent update to Unity 5.10, preformance on my laptop seems to have degraded. This is espacially noticable when I have Unity's dash in maximised mode (my prefered mode). I had to switch over to Unity 2D (which is excellent BTW) for the time being. Compiz idles at about 25% CPU. Under Unity 2D, the system idles near zero. It also runs a lot cooler than before. Using nVidia proprietary drivers (recommended by the driver installer).
