This bug should have a high priority. With Valve wanting to put their
chips into Ubuntu, Unity out of the box needs to be able to keep up with
the others. Looking at these benchmarks:

This IS NOT the case. When running fullscreen opengl applications, there
needs to be a way to disable desktop effects or something that will get
the framerate to where it should be. Otherwise I could definitely see
new users thinking, "I'll give Linux a try." use Ubuntu, have a terrible
gaming experience (Due to low frames) and either go back to Windows, or
buy an Apple PC.

I know I sound a bit crazy, but Linux's big chance is coming up, and we
have to be ready if we want this to take off.
