Unity very slow while Gnome Classic running just fine
- by Sorin Sbarnea
I see tons of people complaining about Unity speed and I think the problem is not with the video drivers.
When I login to Gnome Classic the system is behaving just fine, but when on Unity I can barely do use it: windows are moved hard, terminal is damn slow.
Is there any solution or bug that I should track?
