[Bug 38131] Re: Firefox causes massive Xorg CPU usage

[fuljencio]

mnzy please tell us which graphics card and which graphics driver does
your system have.

more people should confirm this effect with gnome-settings-daemon. if
that were the case:

I think mnzy comments are quite interesting. we would have that
gnome-settings-daemon is currently a thing that offers a small
aesthetic improvement at the expense of damaging noticeably the
responsiveness of the whole GUI.

I think we should not think about these cases in terms of "is users
fault; their systems are ancient" because this is the windows vista's
approach to computer resources and as we all know, this approach
fails.

Finally, I think gnome-settings-daemon should stop doing (or doing
much faster) 20% of the things that causes 80% of this noticeable
performance drop. (say 20/80, say 10/90 or whatever).

Well, I'm saying all this mainly because I have the same recurring
feeling: few days after ubuntu installations, my excitation about new
features drives away and then I begin to notice that gnome is (still)
too slow, and the more I use it the more I notice it.
