[Bug 50153] window performance sluggish in 2.6.15-25-686 vs 2.6.15-23-686

[Brian Eaton]

Public bug reported:

This morning I was prompted to upgrade around 80 package in my Dapper
Drake installation.  I upgraded all of them.  After rebooting, starting
applications such as firefox and gnome-terminal from the gnome
application panel was noticeably slower.

Before: clicking the firefox icon in the gnome panel started firefox in less than half a second.
After: clicking the firefox icon in the gnome panel started firefox in about a second.  It was possible to watch the "zooming window" effect progress slowly across the screen.

The problem does not occur when I boot 2.6.15-23-686 instead of
2.6.15-25-686.


Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'linux-
image'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
