The update may have helped somewhat, I'm not positive, but it seems a tiny
bit better.

On a related note, I noticed that un-checking 'Detect Refresh Rate' and
raising the 'Refresh Rate' slider as high as it will go (to 200) seems to
help quite a bit. These settings are found in CCSM under the Composite
Plugin.It seems that things only get choppy when I move windows very far
very fast. If i slowly move a window, even with wobbly windows enabled,
there's no choppiness whatsoever.
