[Bug 1496525] Re: desktop is much smoother after toggling copy to texture in compizconfig

 

Hm, Skype just managed to blow up the window decorations when running
like this, too. It's definitely not quite stable, but I really wish I
could get it to be stable and still this responsive -- makes the machine
feel much, much nicer on the whole.

Nothing much illuminating by running compiz --replace & in a terminal
and watching some of the output tick by, by the way; lots of warnings
that I think could normally be ignored. but I'd be very curious to have
a compiz developer look into this.

Title:
  desktop is much smoother after toggling copy to texture in
  compizconfig

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I just found this while trying to tweak performance in compizconfig --
  I'm currently running 14.04.3 with all of the available LTS-vivid
  packages and nvidia-346. The Unity desktop is much, much smoother
  after _toggling off_ "copy to texture" in compizconfig during a
  session. There don't seem to be any performance gains from starting up
  with it turned off; it has to be toggled mid-session.
