A recent update to compiz in oneiric has had a big import on 3d performance. The desktop feels more sluggish, and the glxspheres benchmark indicates about half the performance compared to metacity and mutter (on my Sandy Bridge GPU I get 30-32 fps in unity/compiz vs 59-60 fps in both unity-2d/metacity and gnome-shell/mutter). Previously compiz matched the performance of metacity and mutter.
I also tested the oneiric beta2 live CD (amd64) and performance was similar (ie regressed compared to beta1).
