Ubuntu 8.10 seems to have a sluggish graphics stack.  It seems to affect
all applications, so it may be down in the X server, one or more of the
APIs, or even the graphics card drivers, but I see the effects on all
computers, regardless of the graphics card or application.  All GUI
windows seems to show snow as they fly open on the 3D desktop, but
quickly stabilize.  Same with 3D disabled, but stabilizes more quickly,
almost unnoticeable.  My own GUI Java applications show a significant
amount of interactivity lag, not present in the earlier releases (8.04
or earlier).  I see the same results in both the OpenJDK and the Sun
packages, so I suspect the newest X server.  Same effects on both GNOME
and KDE.  Also, same effects on openSUSE, for that matter.

Possibly related:  In AVIDeMux on Ubuntu 8.10 all audio playback is
unusably choppy yet final output saved to the hard disk seems to show no
ill effects.  I think this might be related.
