Hi,<div><br></div><div>My machine is running Debian Wheezy amd64; using Debian provided kernel 3.0 and the Nvidia drivers (installed the Debian way).</div><div><br></div><div>I am running Gnome as my desktop and am not using any Compositing window manager.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Starting from yesterday (28-Sep-2011) I realised Google Chrome's tabs and address bar were acting very slow. I started searching on the internet for similar problems when I stumbled across this bug report (so I will append my observations here).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some issues that I have observed occuring on my machine that started at the same time:</div><div>1. GTK+ programs using tabs are very slow (Google Chrome, gedit, iceweasel/firefox)</div><div>2. "System Monitor" tool starts running up 100% CPU usage (according to other bug reports on <a href="http://bugs.debian.org">bugs.debian.org</a>, this probem has been seen before and according to those reports it is most likely display driver issue).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am very sure that my computer was running perfectly on 26-Sep-2011. As such I am attaching information on the packages that were updated on my machine since.</div><div><br></div><div>>cat dpkg.log | grep "2011-09-28.*status installed"</div>
