I don't think it is Compiz as I have this problem and compiz is not enabled.
I no longer get this problem while tabbing (even in firefox - this does eventually push the CPU up to 100%), but when something ram intensive (like hugin stitching photos together) is occurring there is lots of stuttering. I am still waiting for the new kernal etc. to make it into the normal updates/backports repository - is that likely to happen in the near future? There might be something in Xorg - It seems to take longer to render windows than it used to. But you are probably right - It might be bigger than just pulseaudio - but hopefully the next version of pulseaudio will fix the problem and hide the other bugs until later :-) -- Over-optimistic buffering in PulseAudio causes underruns (audible stuttering, pops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190754 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
