used compiz fusion on a old laptop. There it seemed to work very fast and good. Now recently I bought a new laptop. Normally it should be much faster, because I now have dualcore and a Nvidia 8600 GT. After installing compiz fusion it was just slower than my previous computer. I thought it were problems with the driver, so I kept waiting for new drivers. Yesterday actually there were new nvidia drivers that should improve performance with a lot of nvidia 8*** cards. Now I didn't saw compiz fusion go any faster. That's when I started to look for another solution.

Now I ran 'compiz fusion' through 'compiz --replace'. That way I didn't enabled "indirect rendering". That was silly, I have a fast graphic card and I don't use it.
