Comment 129 for bug 861061

Me too - slow fps with 12.04 and unity (even with Unity-5.14 from SRU-1), using Nouveau on NV44:

- Slow fps with compiz running with unity plugin
- Fast fps with compiz running without unity plugin (can be switched in ccsm when selecting the profile called "default")

Examples:
1) briquolo:
- Reference: The briquolo menu screen shows 90fps with Unity-6.2 packages from Quantal compiled on Precise.
- With Unity 0.14 packages, after fresh unity start it gives 50fps and after working a while on the desktop, it drops to around 20 fps.

2) Frozen Bubble (ancient 2D game, does not use OpenGL and isn't heavvy on the animation at all....):
- After working a while on the desktop, the balls in frozen bubble were so slow that they were falling in like with a Cinemal effect which is described as "slow motion" (lets say half or one third of the normal animation speed)
