I have been having the same problem for my laptop. Dell Inspiron 1520 with an NVIDIA 8600GT graphics card.
All the 3D effects work fine, but when opening/closing windows or maximizing/minimizing it is extremely slow.
Also, the buttons for closing maximizing and minimizing have been slow to respond.

I believe I have either solved or worked around the problem though.
My system began functioning very except for two of the window animations when I installed the xserver-xgl package.
The two slow effects were the flame and beam up effects; they seem to be working a little better now thanks to Rodrigo Donado by disabling the Fading Windows effect.

WARNING: after enabling the xserver-xgl package, I have been unable to use the built in screen resolution utility and the glow around the windows disappeared.
