I recently enabled 3D support for my video card (intel i845) and "Desktop Effects" in control center. Every since then, firefox2 does not scroll smooth, it is "jerky". Also when clicking on apps, they open but are initialy black then load the interface. I know this is hard to explain but i am wondering if it is a video card slow-down? I am thinking about getting nvidia 9750 ultra. I am not gaming, just want good 3D support and maybe fix the slowness problem. What do you think?
I have the same with Firefox - try disabling the smooth scroll in the pref. For the rest - I only have slow resize actions - rest seems "fine" - but yes the 3D stuff does eat a bit of CPU at times - becomes unusable when loading the CPU with mencoding etc. etc. But on whole my Dell D820 915i Intel with 1920x1200 performs better than I expected. Are you using Beryl, Compiz or the new Compiz-Fusion. I have best results with the last and AIGLX.
