Has anyone else noticed the extreme 2d slowness under kwin with compositing enabled? e.g. things like fading-in right-click menus or file-dialogs are unbearably slow. I bisected it and tracked it down to the commit that introduced swap&sync support and filed a bug here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28992. Would be nice if someone could confirm this.
BTW, shouldn't this thread be in the Open-Source AMD/ATI Linux-forum? :>

Confused as always...
If you use Ubuntu, it's easy enough to install a newer kernel (assuming you don't use any non-free drivers). Compiling newer mesa/libdrm can be more difficult, but I was able to get the Ubuntu Maverick mesa and libdrm to build on Ubuntu Lucid. If you know how to build a package on Ubuntu, you know enough to get the newer mesa and libdrm installed.
