I'm running ubuntu 12.10 with a Geforce Gtx680 + 2600k + 8gb, and compiz performance is awful in the desktop and playing games.

Dragging a window across the desktop is a pain, because it stutters so much it's not even funny. Compiz 0.9.7.8 doesn't have this behavior, so something got broken in this release.

Now, about opengl games. It's also a terrible experience, and no matter what settings I try there's always a lag feel. Games simply don't run smooth, despite the frame rate that shows on screen. This behavior is present in both 0.9.8 and 0.9.7.8.

By running ubuntu without any effects (gnome classic panel) games run super smooth without any lag or stutter.

By the way, I'm running 304.22 driver with default settings, but all previous drivers show the same behavior.
