Tried the solution posted in the thread you linked to, but all it did was switch me to "normal" in visual effects, which I wasn't having any trouble with.
I'm still encountering the same glitchy slowdowns, but I did get an unusual message when I ran this command in the terminal:
Code:
$ compiz --replace
Checking for Xgl: present.
Checking for nVidia: not present.
Checking for Xgl: present.
GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly.
I gotta say, I'm tempted to go back to 7.10 and not bother with the new release until I buy a new laptop (as this one is around 4 years old).
