Prove that Lion is way slower with Intel HD3000 chipsets

[Soliber]

Suppose it's the drivers for the chipset: does Intel provide those or does Apple write them completely?

There is a lot of memory usage, too.
I don't understand why :-(

My guess is that he's one of those people who don't really notice slightly clipped/sluggish animations. I know lots of people who see nothing wrong with their iPhone 4 animations when I can tell that they're jumpy as hell. It's all about perception. If you're the kind of person who notices little visual details, it may bother you. I don't think the OS will actually be "sluggish" in any meaningful sense, though. It's animations will look choppier. Which, IMO, is a big fail...but what can you do?

Well, I HAVE noticed a few bugs with the GM....but nothing too major, and nothing that's going to make me want to go back to SL.

For real? Your post seems contradictory to what I've come to read here... I'm not calling you a liar, I'd just like to know if it's really that bad.
I kinda doubt that Apple woud ship of high-end products that would feel sluggish, so I'd assume they'd do something about it before the launch of Lion, it would spell to much bad PR otherwise I think *-)

I do not think he is a lair. Look, some people do not see the difference between a 30fps and 60fps first-person shooter. Such people will not see the jerky graphics animations in Lion at all.

A good way to put it:
SL is 60fps and smooth all the way.
Lion is 30fps and good enough for some users.

But most OS X users are a bit picky on such things so most will not like Lion running on a Intel 3000HD chipset.

I also was convinced the Intel drivers are to blame. But lately I am more convinced Lion needs more GPU power compared to SL.
The screen refreshing are also a bit different compared to SL. SL only updates screen parts that needs to be updated. Lion mostly updates large portions of screens.
A good example is the NSTableview. If you change a single cell, SL only updates the screen for that cell. Within Lion I noticed it updates the whole NSTableview.

Anyway, I am convinced the Intel HD3000 issues will be resolved sooner or later. The question remains when.

100% agreed.

BTW I also think iPhone 4 has jumpy animations at times. Yes, you are not alone.
