Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Since upgrading to Karmic Beta, there's a definite noticeable decrease
in graphical performance.  I don't know the exact culprit of this,
unfortunately.  It's noticeable on window (re)drawing mostly, opening an
application menu, and other such things.  I know glxgears is no
benchmark, but when using it, there's certainly a noticeable choppiness
there.  Overall, it's somewhat subtle, but noticeable enough to be
annoying.

Since I'm not sure where to start with this, I'm willing to try whatever
is needed to find the culprit.  I have tested with xserver-xorg-video-
intel 2.4 and didn't notice the issues, but I also couldn't enable
compiz, for example.  I've tested this under a 'test' user without
compiz and there was a degradation there as well.

I've tried the Mesa packages from X Retro:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-retro, but it
didn't seem to impact anything.
