I installed 14.04 onto a new SSD, keeping my home partition from my 12.04 install on my laptop on the mechanical hard drive. Most of my settings came across fine, and my wine installs upgraded in place quite gracefully too.
Any music or video playback stutters every two seconds more or less, not breaking up but repeating a millisecond or so. I thought it might be that Unity was a bit demanding for my hardware, because the mouse and keyboard "stick" every now and then. The mouse jumps slightly, and while typing a letter sometimes appear twice and then disappears when I go back to correct it.
I've switched off a lot of Unity graphic effects, tried the XFCE desktop, and googled for solutions but these issues just won't go away.
My hardware is a Dell n411z, with quad-core i5 (2.3GHz), 6GB RAM and Intel HD3000 graphics onboard. I added a 128GB Kingston SSD in addition to the 500GB mechanical HDD that came with it originally, using a caddy bought from Newmodeus.
