Comment 25 for bug 342923

Doesn't help much, still KDE is very slow compared to Intrepid, (like
slow refresh during application switch). Also, has issues with poor
screen refresh and overlay of parts of plasma-widgets/applications
over other applications like Kate, Kmail (comment #2) etc, which are
still not resolved.

Seems to solve the performance/screen refresh problems mentioned
above. But performance is not as good as in Intrepid. Mainly, it has
stability issues (Bug #342675) which prevent me from enabling it.

So, both these workarounds doesn't help in my case !!

I am not sure if this bug is a duplicate of bug #339555. The below
points might be of help.

* I just tried Gnome Jaunty and found it to be usable & faster
compared to KDE. Gnome compiz effects are slower but acceptable,
except for the application switch & show desktop, which are horribly
slow !!
* Disabling desktop effects in Gnome has the same problems as I
mentioned for (1) like poor screen refresh etc.
* So, I was wrong in comment #8 to say that gnome was working fine,
but it is noticeably faster compared to Kwin, even though not as fast
as in Intrepid.

Looks like the latest intel driver is in very poor unusable state for
my chipset Intel 945 GM !!!

Please let me any information you need from me regarding this and I
will provide them as soon as I can.

Thanks a lot...
