Comment 3 for bug 1005152

I just gave that option a try. Immediately there were *some* improvements, but not entirely smooth. Text selection doesn't trail behind as much, and scrolling is a slight bit less jittery. The keyboard input is still slightly delayed.

I'm going to keep this enabled for a while and see how it works.

Also, I'm confident that hardware is not an issue for me. I have a Phenom II x6 CPU, 8 GB of memory, and a low end (but recent) dedicated AMD GPU. Definitely more than enough to run Compiz. Without fglrx it is a little better, but still not quite right. That rules out the blob being the issue.

The other PC which I have tested is fairly low-end, but experiences no typing delay- only scrolling, window drag lag, etc. It has an Intel CPU and NVIDIA gpu.
