Something about it also introduces a delay. If I run emacs in a plain
old FVWM session with no 3D composting going on, it is perfectly
functional.

If I run it under gnome-shell, I notice things like moving the cursor
to extend the selection introduces a distinct delay that makes it
very disconcerting to try and concentrate on what I'm editing
rather than being constantly distracted by the random delays.

This is all on the same hardware with the same video driver, so
the difference has to be gnome-shell.

Tom,

This aspect of gnome3 has driven me bonkers.  Like the others I keep
waiting for an update to fix things.  My perspective is that I like what
gnome3 does, but it is really not read for the users I support.
