Ubuntu Unity Proves Very Slow To KDE, GNOME, Xfce, LXDE

Nothing too new from the Warsow data.

The Xonotic benchmark results are similar to the earlier results with KDE 4.9 being the fastest when having KWin automatically suspend effects full-screen windows while the default Unity 6.4 with Compiz performance is awful. GNOME Shell is doing nice overall and Xfce and LXDE are strong competitors.
