Using Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (daily build of nov 15) in a core i7-4700HQ and
Intel graphics, and dash "fade in" is still slow... and Alt+Tab
transitions are slow too... it's a shame for ubuntu to be slow in a new
hardware like this...

Change Blur effect to "No blur" or "Static blur" (using Ubuntu Tweak for
this) vastly improved performance.

Bug description:
  Recent Unity version introduced fading blur upon dash opening which
  does not really have a smooth look on i915-driven HD 3000 on the
  laptop screen of 1366x768 and is extremely noticeable on resolution of
  my external display (23" 1920x1080).

  ------------------
  Desired solution:

  - disable all fade in/out effects completely when running on low GFX
  mode (UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE is set)
