Later in the cycle we'll address tuning unity+compiz to be more power-efficient. But we will not switch away from compiz. Due to the switch to compiz (away from mutter) we actually already made unity consume less power, because screen-updates are done in a more efficient manner. Only screen-regions, which updated are actually refreshed. Before every change caused a full-screen redraw.
