Ah, I was referring to the high CPU usage. I have reduced tearing of my
Sandy Bridge card under Gnome by exporting a clutter variable, though I
can't remember how and where.

The high CPU still bugs me since it significantly affect the battery
life and hence the multimedia experience using Gnome Shell with my
Laptop. This is sad, since I really love the Shell :)
