[Bug 871867] [NEW] gwibber new message field performs poorly

 

Public bug reported:

On my environment, the semi-transparent new message field performs very
poorly on 11.10. At all times my CPU usage increases substantially while
it's open, and typing lags. In some cases (not exactly sure what the
parameters are), the field nearly hangs on text entry, to the point I
have to restart Gwibber altogether.

I'm happy to provide debug information; I'm not opposed to the theory
this is a configuration issue on my side; unfortunately there is now way
to gracefully degrade the field to the point I can use Gwibber. This is
a fresh install of a 11.10 pre-release build. If it helps, I have Nvidia
proprietary drivers installed, and glxgears runs smoothly:

~$ glxgears
47852 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9568.410 FPS
47834 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9566.694 FPS
47654 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9530.287 FPS
