Let us say then that it is not my theory but a fact:
from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_Flashback, I quote:
"GNOME Flashback (previously called GNOME fallback mode) is a shell for
GNOME 3. The desktop layout and the underlying technology is similar to
GNOME 2. It doesn't use 3D acceleration at all, so it's generally faster
and less CPU intensive than GNOME Shell with llvmpipe."
Don't get me wrong, I don't try to convert you to Gnome, I am myself an
everyday Xcfe user.
