Parallels desktop 9.0.24229, older Mac Pro with 4x 2.66 Xeon, OS X 10.7.5.
Installed Ubuntu 14.04 and everything screen-related is extremely slow - unity takes seconds to open its search screen.
VM has 1GB memory, 256MB video ram.
Suggestions?
Edit: I note on my CPU meter, hardly anything is happening, just a trickle of activity while ubuntu is struggling to repaint a window.
Edit again: Configuring video with 3D acceleration on and vertical synchronization off seems to be the best but is still sloooooow.
YAEdit: I have completed installation of Kubuntu 14.04 and it does not seem to be afflicted with the slows. So the problem relates to Ubuntu Unity under Parallels 9.
