Package: gnome-shell Version: 2.28.1~git20091117-1 Severity: normal I normally use compiz, but decided to give gnome-shell a try. However, when I loaded simutrans, which is a fairly graphic-intensive program (it uses SDL but not OpenGL), it runs much more slowly than under compiz. The difference is easily noticeable: whereas simutrans normally takes about a second to load a saved game, under gnome-shell it takes two to three times that long.
Another example is meritous: there is noticable lag in the graphics at some points; the rendering is not smooth as it is under compiz. This is present even when displaying the splash screen and menu (look at the speed of the background animation).
