Comment 15 for bug 987304

I can confirm the observations made by Achim.

I first tried the PPA with nouveau, and did not notice any visible change.

When I activated the binary nvidia driver, however, the change was quite obvious. The slowdowns are not entirely gone, but they disappeared for the expo animation entirely, and there is only one during the scale animation instead of three-four.

Now, I wish I could use the nvidia driver instead of nouveau, but it causes compiz to segfault on startup when the desktop loads, and I must open a terminal from nautilus by opening a directory on the desktop and then start unity from there...
