I can say that i do not run 3D applications on this laptop and i have decided to give Beryl a try and subsequently i have found that the CPU is getting higher usage so i wanted to find out if it is normal. However, i can see that overall system response go down a little bit because of the higher CPU usage. Nevertheless, i can't say that it is hindering my usage of laptop. I suppose that disabling (or not using) "Composite" entails to disable Beryl as well. Thanks Srikanth On 1/24/07, Lonni J Friedman <netllama@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
You didn't state what isn't performing to your expectations, However you're using a fairly low end GPU, so there isn't much that can be done to improve its performance other than to not use Composite (which by nature will result in a performance hit).
