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

 

Effectively, this makes it feel like compiz tries to load some kind of
fallback mode by default, to handle issues like hotplugging displays,
and toggling the copy to texture plugin when running on nvidia _crashes_
this fallback mode -- but the desktop performs much, much better without
it.

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.
