[Bug 1358595] [NEW] Unity and desktop effects are extremely slow, some windows don't show on Alt+Tab-ing.

 

Public bug reported:

I noticed that operations like switching windows were taking an
extremely long time, and opacity fade in is taking 10s to a minute or
more. I quit Netbeans and Firefox, though they didn't seem to be loading
the system down too badly. Still going slow. I also noticed none of the
dropdowns from the Ubuntu status icons in upper right work.

I open Firefox again, and it slowly fades in, and works, but alt-tab
doesn't show it as available - though it is right on the (only) screen.
It seems now any window that is called up takes a loong time to go from
transparent to visible.

About this time I also saw that Nemiver debugger icon jumped up and
wiggled - like it was alerting about process needing to be debugged?

I'm still seeing this problem although no high-cpu processes are
happening. At the same time this started I also noticed that searching
in the dash was breaking - "update" couldn't even find update manager.
