Public bug reported: After a fresh installation of Lucid Lynx (not via update-manager), I noticed a huge performance drop in 2d graphics with the nvidia proprietary driver, compared to karmic.
The whole interface seems unresponsive and slow. Common actions like resizing, hiding or unhiding a window in the panel, displaying a menu, browsing files etc... happen with a delay. It is most noticeable with nautilus, files and folders take quite a long time to display. I thought it was related to the window-manager, but I tried to disable compiz with the same result. On the other hand, 3d performance seems unaffected by this problem, for instance blender runs smoothly. I can also play videos, even in full screen, without problem. It may be worth saying that I tried to use the nouveau driver with *slightly* better results.
