There are already a couple of mutter bug reports regarding cursor stuttering. Mine is bound to be related to one of those.
Anyway, I realized I really don't like gnome. I used it for 13 months and installed all different extensions to deal with issues. Then I realized that this is just the mac os experience, and that I personally really don't like it. Now I am migrating to KDE, which takes 10 minutes to configure and can then be foegotten, and I wont get a lousy experience if any extensions are incompatible with the next update of gnome (which happened on every major update).
