is it really gone? in my case definitely not... (mobility 9700)
scrolling and scaling is again very slow in compiz (though better that xorg 7.1)
resizing has been fixed and does no more use CPU

3d apps (including compiz) still use lots of CPU (for example google
earth is not usable at all. 70% of cpu when doing nothing, and very
very slow rendering)

ppracer has surprised me because it works using 50% of cpu but it is
not so sluggish

and I also get errors like this when launching ppracer or google earth
(I have a stock xorg.conf reconfigured with -phigh)
