[Bug 905902] [NEW] Changing wallpaper takes too much ressource

 

Public bug reported:

When i'm going to play games e.g. in Browser or native then i need to turn off wallch before. Otherwise everytime Wallch is changing Wallpapers in the background the games will slow down.
I use 1920x1200 Wallpapers only, maybe this could increase the problem, but i think the fading effect, when wallpapers change (that is coming from nautilus) should be optimised, so such performance problems won't occur anymore.

I'm using Ubuntu Oneiric 64bit with Unity3D.
It happens, playing Flash Games in Chromium, Chrome and Firefox.
It happens, playing Doom3.

Processor: 2x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9600 @ 2.80GHz
Memory: 8181MB
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96M [Quadro FX 770M] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
