I done this which reduced the problem for me:

NVidia drivers PPA, and upgrade:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-
settings

(I tried Additional Drivers: "post-release updates" didn't work for me)

Added following PPA and upgrade:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:vanvugt/compiz

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Or add via a source manager:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/vanvugt/compiz/ubuntu oneiric main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/vanvugt/compiz/ubuntu oneiric main

then update and upgrade compiz, the source is found here:
https://launchpad.net/~vanvugt/+archive/compiz

Install Compiz-Setting-Manager:

(this is found in the Ubuntu software centre)

Open and navigate to Composite setting:

DETECT REFRESH RATE: (UNTICK)

REFRESH RATE: (MAX)

Open and navigate to Mouse Position Polling setting:

MOUSE POLL POSITION: (1).

Navigate to Snapping Windows setting:

SNAPPING WINDOWS: (UNTICK)

Navigate to MOVE WINDOW:

OPACITY: 30

LAZY POSITIONING: (UNTICK)

Configuring The Right Driver

The next thing to do is to make sure that your machine uses the correct
driver. To ensure that, we are going to blacklist the nouveau driver
first. Open a terminal and enter the following to do so:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

At the end of the document, add this line:

[...]

blacklist nouveau

Afterwards update your initial ram file system by entering this into a
terminal:

sudo update-initramfs -u -v

Then check:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Find the Device section and make sure the driver is set to "nvidia". It
should look somewhat like this:

[...]

Section "Device"

Driver "nvidia"

Identifier  "Default Device"

Option  "NoLogo"    "True"
EndSection

[...]
