Perhaps we could stop this discussion. Users with performance issues
should consider, before switching from another DE to GNOME3, simply to
read the GNOME FAQ. https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/FAQ ,
e.g.
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/FAQ#GNOME_shell_does_not_seem_to_work_with_my_video_card._What_can_I_do.3F
 .

Before switching to GNOME3 it also doesn't harm to Google,
search terms including the hardware + the usage of the computer +
GNOME3.

There are known issues, this neither is FUD, nor is something very
wrong with machines that can't run GNOME.
