I don't disagree.  My point was merely that I was not aware of any
performance issues unique to Nvidia hardware.  I've seen gnome-shell
on Intel and ATI hardware as well, and performance is essentially the
same as on my Nvidia.  Your response seems to confirm that to some
degree.

I thought maybe Frederic was referring to some specific bug that I'd
be curious to learn more about.
