Public bug reported: As described in this thread (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2546510#post2546510), a recent security fix to the nvidia drivers causes poor performance.
The suggested solution is to downgrade to a patched version of the 295.33 drivers. The affected package (in my case) is nvidia-current version 295.40-0ubuntu1~oneiric~xup1. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985189 Title: poor performance in 295.40 drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/985189/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
