Compiz renders quickly (what I've originally expected) but only when the benchmark tool is on!

By turning it off I get 40-60 FPS; while when it's on: 300-350 FPS.

Video card: NVidia GeForce 310M.
NVidia Driver Version: 195.36.24.
I'm using the 32-bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

Cheers,
easy

That's expected, the benchmark plugin disables vsync. Otherwise this was likely a driver problem anyway.
