Window re-drawing is laggy when window Resize Mode is set to "Normal"

[Jay S]

When I have the the Resize Mode set to "Normal" in Compiz's Resize Window settings, windows that are being resized are redrawn with a very long lag, at least a couple hundred milliseconds.

Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit with Unity
NVIDIA binary driver 270.41.06-0ubuntu1
TwinView

Both of my CPUs are pegged while resizing in normal mode. Does anyone have a workaround?

The binary nvidia driver does texture rebinds really slowly. This had been a
known issue for a while and is why this is disabled by default.

I'm running nouveau on my 8600GT and it's quite smooth there. I wouldn't
suggest using that driver unless you are prepared to deal with instability
in the 3D implementation and lack of power management.
