Jim Richards, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)? Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

but was unable to get a working nvidia driver in the 4.3 kernel. This included using

to try and force it to install.

Just upgraded to 15.10. Booting up with nvidia driver directly gives glxgears running at expected result. Installing bumblebee and running optimus glxgears gives /var/log/system entry and no expected result.

As a note - I have a Dell XPS as well, and I get the same result with Ubuntu 15.04. My co-worker has the same laptop with Arch Linux and Bumblebee works for him with the same hardware.

Sorry for the delay. Updated to kernel 4.3.3 and still getting no result with optirun, it should be returning more than 60 fps.

Jim Richards, to clarify:
1) When using the nvidia driver in 15.10, you are using the latest supported one for your card via https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-352 ?

Description: NVIDIA Optimus support for Linux
 Bumblebee is an effort to make NVIDIA Optimus enabled laptops work in
 GNU/Linux systems. These laptops are built in such a way that the NVIDIA
 graphics card can be used on demand so that battery life is improved and
 temperature is kept low.
 .
 It disables the discrete graphics card if no client is detected, and start
 an X server making use of NVIDIA card if requested then let software GL
 implementations (such as VirtualGL) copy frames to the visible display that
 runs on the intergrated graphics. The ability to use discrete graphics
 depends on the driver: open source nouveau and proprietary nvidia.
