Two answer from my side: I'm using twinview multi-head.  I only
experience it in Unity.  Other programs redraw is slowed (for instance
it was slow to type in firefox), but generally the issue was much worse
in gnome-terminal than other programs.  It only comes on some time after
start, and sometimes goes away.   Goes away quicker on later nvidia
drivers (290.03) - on earlier drivers I would need to reboot.   Started
noticing as soon as I installed 11.10  (I generally reinstall rather
than upgrade).

I think it's mainly a compiz/unity/nvidia combination bug, but something
is making it hit gnome-terminal worse than other programs.

Title:
  gnome-terminal extremely slow and display buggy

  After the update to oneiric the gnome-terminal appears to be slow and
