Bug Description

Since the introduction of the overlay showing the window title along with the close button in the scale(not resise) plugin, the animation got very slow and laggy. One can also see that the overlay is not attached to the window, but instead floating above the window being not exactly in sync. When more than 5 windows are open, I get around 2 FPS on a fairly performant machine. There is also no option in CompizConfig or GConf-Editor to deactivate the overlay.

I want to add, that since I made some minor changes to my compiz setup, with the default configuration (new user) I'm experiencing exactly the same problem.
