The patch worked for me too on a HD 4670. Before it took 2 seconds for minimizing and maximizing, now it does it instantly. I've played around a bit and didn't see any graphical glitches in Gnome yet.
@Daein Kang: I'd *love* to use the open source driver but it doesn't have 3D support for r600/r700 yet and cannot run compiz at all for these cards. The patch itself seems driver independent, so it should, noticeable or not, speed up radeon os with compositing too. I remember having a similar min/maximize lag with radeon os and a r300 card before Jaunty.
