I wish to simply document my performance tuning experience for the rest of the community.
This was the only place I could think to do it...
I have an Lenovo x220 laptop with 2x 1920x1200 monitors connected along with a bunch of other peripherals and Ubuntu 12.04 daily.
Performance felt fantastic untill I rapidly dragged a window or scrolled.
Scrolling performance wasnt exactly smooth...
In compiz config settings manager (ccsm) under the OpenGL tab I have enabled:
Texture compression
Set texture filter to fast
Everything looks exactly the same to me except:
Suddenly my scrolling performance has improved probably 10 fold and rapidly dragging windows no longer results in initial performance lag followed by reasonably smooth dragging.
Performance is now pretty much buttery smooth.
