I think compiz might actually be a problem now. Using both 2.6.27-11 and 2.6.28-4 with compiz 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu4.1, I often get significantly reduced 3d performance (ie halved) - but not always - in CoD4 compared to when compiz is disabled. Sometimes restarting compiz fixes it, other times not.

I'm now using the nvidia 180.18 driver, playing on a second monitor with the wine screensize set to full resolution on the monitor (as opposed to fullscreen mode). Hardy doesn't have a problem with this setup (fps are independent of whether compiz is enabled or not) but Intrepid sometimes has slow frame rates with compiz enabled, other times high frame rates. Disabling compiz in Intrepid has so far always given high frame rates.
