Hi,
I just upgraded from Kubuntu Feisty to Kubuntu Gutsy and thus tried to work with Compiz Fusion instead of Beryl 0.2.0. My computer is an Athlon XP 2400+ with a Nvidia Gforce 7600 GPU and 1,5GB RAM. Beryl 0.2.0 ran very smoothly on it but unfortunately I cannot say the same about Compiz Fusion. While it was ok, especially scale seemed to lag noticeably at least when something else was going on in the background (like music playing or something). This was very annoying for me because I like the animations to be smooth. I already searched the web about it and tried to run Compiz with the --loose-binding option but it didn't seem to help much.
I had the same problems when I tried a git version of beryl on Feisty once so it seems to be because of something that came in after beryl 0.2.0.
Right now I'm running the beryl and emerald packages from feisty under gutsy and this works well for now. But I'd much rather run compiz fusion instead of having this crippled solution so I'd be thankful for any ideas and/or bugfixes.
Thanks a lot,
Tobias
