Title:
  Launcher tooltips and context menu are slow

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When hovering the pointer around the Unity Launcher icons, the
  tooltips (with the app name) load quite slowly, half a second or so
  before it's drawn on screen.

  Also if I right-click on the Launcher icons, the context menu lags,
  too. The bigger the area of the context menu, the longer it takes to
  be shown on screen.

  This manifests on Intel 945GM graphics, with Core Duo.

  BTW, the elements which use "Active Blur" are drawn quite slowly and
  freeze the display while being drawn, too. (I read the related bug
  report, but after adding -proposed and upgrading the bug kept
  manifesting, I kind of solved it by deactivating Active Blur via Unity
  Tweak Tool).

  Not sure if this is a duplicate or if I am reporting against the
  appropriate package, please correct me.
