Well, I think that we can rule out the proprietary Spotify client, as I
haven't been able to use it recently because of a missing (deprecated)
dependency. My current 15.04 installation is fairly new, as I returned
to 14.04.2 for a while, but decided again to use the newest development
version. I have to say that I don't see this bug that much often as I
used to, I only came across it once throughout two weeks of everyday
usage. I only had free software running then, available in the main
repositories, namely Firefox, Nautilus, Terminal, qBittorrent. I started
to close windows in this order: qBittorrent, Nautilus, Firefox. After
closing Firefox, the performance was normal again. Note that I left the
terminal window open.

I am using the recommended proprietary Nvidia drivers, and I am affected
by an another bug (having thick black borders around GUI elements),
which occurs after a sleep/resume cycle. I will do some experiments to
find out whether this bug is also connected to suspending the system.

That's all for now. I would like to offer some of my free time for
further investigation, I will just need some tips on how to proceed.

Title:
  Unity suffers severe performance drops occasially

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Presumably Unity, or in general the user interface of Ubuntu 15.04
  (Vivid) suffers severe performance drops. To be more precise, when my
  system happens to be in this state, every animation, like moving
  windows, opening menus (fading in/out), or opening the dash is very
  choppy (I would guess 5 FPS, but I didn't perform proper
  measurements). I could not find the triggering element, although I
  know that closing some windows will solve the problem, after which I
  can reopen those windows, and have normal frame rates. In Compiz
  Config Settings Manager, I already set the refresh rate to the correct
  value of 60, and disabled refresh rate detection. I believe that from
  the attached data it's clear that I'm using the latest nvidia drivers
  provided by Ubuntu.
