It is slow because you are not using 3D acceleration. That is the point of this thread.
You are still seeing visual effects etc because Ubuntu 12.10 has dropped Unity-2D completely and now always invokes Unity 3D. Now, when 3D acceleration is not available, Unity falls back to using
llvmpipe. So it looks exactly the same, just slow. Run "/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p" to see if you are really using 3D. Can run that in gnome-shell also.
PS: I also removed that other vmware package libxatracker1 referenced earlier here, rebooted, installed guest additions from VB menu, rebooted. Still get 2D performance. Added vboxvideo module and do get 3D but completely unstable.
