In my opinion, this bug belongs in the "One Hundred Paper Cuts" list. It was marked invalid for that list in May of this year, but the alt-tab functionality has been completely reimplemented since then, so it's worth re-evaluating now.
See my comment above; the responsiveness should not be measured in terms of the compiz setting, but on the actual latency between the keystroke and the alt-tab visual menu appearing. It's as high on 1000ms on my machine, which handles other window management changes with perfectly acceptable speed. Something is broken. People switching from windows will notice this the first time they hit alt-tab.
My specs: 11.10 32-bit, 3GB RAM, Nvidia GT 240 running the 280.13 drivers, in case that's relevant.
