Bug Description
SRU testcase.
1. install unity from precise-proposed
2. make sure the dash is responsive and fast.
With Unity 5.10, if the Dash is opened it keep redrawing over and over again. This is visible as a somewhat sluggish (slower to respond) Dash experience when open.
This seems to originate in r2248 and is solved by the attached patch which will be uploaded via 'precise-proposed' as soon as possible as release of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
If this is cleared for distributing as a SRU (Stable Release Update) in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS then this would then be available as an immediate upgrade for most users.

Are the side affects of this a very sluggish dash? If so this might be what I'm experiencing and I'll mark myself as affected. Every since the unity update to 5.10, my dash has been awfully slow and sluggish to the point that the mouse movement is affected too. If I disable either the "active" or "static" blur it performs as usual.
