I reported bug #962494 but this is obviously the same problem so I'm adding my info here (my bug should be closed as a duplicate):
On my AMD E350/radeon HD 6130 laptop there is a slight but annoying delay every time I open a menu in the global menu bar. If I cycle trought the menus the lag becomes very noticable. First a rectangular shadow apperas and then the actual menu. CPU usage is also quite high when cycling the menus, with compiz, xorg and unity-panel-service together using almost 100%. I tried upgrading the fglrx driver from AMD but it didn't help. Using the open radeon driver didn't help either. My Atom based netbook with a Intel GMA3150 has the same problem so I don't think it's a driver problem (it's even slower on that computer). The global menu does work on my desktop computer but then it' a core i7 with a powerful nvidia GPU. :) I never had this problem with gnome 2 btw. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961518 Title: Global menu is rendered too slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/961518/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
