Hi,
just a report ( for information ) : today I did a tiny test on a external
hardrive with an updated Ubuntu 12.04 on it. I compared performance between
version v2.3.91-569-g453fdda ( a revision who slept since april on this
hardrive when I tested 12.04 first time )   , and then I upgraded and
tested  today build. And painting were not really more fast ; but a bit
smoother for me in the way it display to screen, in the way little
'hanging' appear here and there (  OpenGL , with and without  ). I did this
to confirm a personnal feeling about actual version where I see often the
'square' tiled on canvas,  waiting them to refresh image.

Hi, <br>just a report ( for information ) : today I did a tiny test on a external \
