[Bug 1229795] [NEW] Unity animations very slow with 3D capable graphics Intel 945

 

Public bug reported:

With up to date Saucy, Unity animations are very slow.  For example, hovering over launcher the app tooltip takes three seconds to appear fully and is drawn as a series of images each more opaque that the previous.  Normal operation within an app is ok as is window movement and switching between windows using the mouse.  To draw the shutdown dialog takes many seconds however.  
I can't see anything unusual in .xsession-errors, syslog or Xorg.0.log
The result is that the machine is virtually unusable.
