Are you sure that all patches applied?
If my benchmarks were correct, it made things even slower.

glmark2 segfaults for me, but glxgears gives me following results:
no-composite: ~750 FPS vs. ~2380 FPS
composite: ~540 FPS vs. ~710 FPS
I.e. now it's 6 times, rather than 3 times, slower than marco...

If that is true then I have no idea how this could happen... At least one
of problem was that all frame/decoration windows was created with 32bit
visual for transparency (even when running without compositing manager). If
we look from no-composite side than it is almost only about revert of that
change...
Can we use marco instead? Doesn't it additionally have CSD support?

It should be possible to install, but I have no idea if there will be
problems...
