Just wanting to add some experiences with (what I think is) the same problem. GeForce 9600 on 10.04 AMD64. After upgrading from 9.04 I started having severe framerate loss mainly when switching desktops with compiz enabled. I can confirm that delaying the start of nvidia-settings resolves the issue until I start opening many windows, and then it reappears, even if I haven't launched nvidia-settings yet.
The more windows open, the worse the problem is. It seems to affect all compiz actions that zoom the screen: the magnifier, expo, desktop cube, etc. Killing the window decorator always resolves the problem, but with any window decorator running, it starts again. -- [Lucid] Loading nvidia-settings hurts compiz performance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574069 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
