Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Sorry if this is filed under the wrong package.

Under exactly the same hardware configuration, Maverick always ran very
swiftly and smoothly. Since switching to Natty, graphics are now very
slow and lagged. This is most noticeable when using compiz zoom, before
it was very smooth, now it's very choppy and difficult to use. It's also
noticeable on ALT-Tabbing, sometimes it takes 3 seconds for the dialog
to popup. Scrolling in applications is much more choppy than before.
Makes the system feel slow and lagged despite having a very low system
load and plenty of memory.

The same problems occur in Classic Desktop as well as Unity.
