Oh my god.  It's so beautiful!  You guys are awesome!

Hurm. Running Ubuntu 12.04, on:

• Intel i7 Quad-core 2.3GHz (hyperthreaded to act as 8 CPUs, standard behaviour on this core)
• 8 GB RAM
• NVidia Quadro K1000M, 2GB

And I still can't seem to get over 30 FPS. What could be wrong? And what's the recommended order of switching off launcher flags?

I have heard that Unity 3D slows OpenGL games down - what windows manager are you using?

Ehh, Unity 3D alright. Is either of Unity2d/KDE/Xfce/LXDE known to work well?

[niffiwan]

Unity2D should work OK (and be the easiest to test).  It's something to do with compiz slowing things down, this was also true pre Unity3D.  Here's a thread with some discussion about how to avoid the slowdown while still using Unity3D, but I haven't tried any of this myself... (I just went with Unity2D, then XFCE, and finally Mint13 MATE  )

Ah, on U2D it seems to be much better already. Thanks a load!

For the longer run (i.e. next month ), when U2D will be abolished, I'll probably give KDE a spin - apparently it performs really well if you disable compositing on fullscreen apps.
