Re: Cinnamon Suggish
Not exactly sure what it was, but I upgraded my kernel to 3.16 and now everything is much better. EDIT: Actually that did not fix it, but I did figure it out. My nvidia card has Powermizer, and after X amount of time it would underclock my card. This would make it have laggy transitions, after doing...

Hey everyone, I've used Cinnamon for a while, and on most of my machines it runs great. However my desktop seems to be a little sluggish.

Was thinking of trying to write something like this myself, but don't have actual experience doing it -- just second-hand knowledge from reading and helping various people try to resolve issues.

Re: How to disable mouse accel and change polling rate?
