it turns out, the choppy behavior is due to the "mouse polling" plugin, use Compiz Settings Manager to set the mouse polling plugin to a smaller time (<10).

Requires a restart for the changes to take effect.

Still not perfect but is a stop gap. The screen is still slightly unresponsive to mouse movements at times. Especially with firefox.

Changed in compiz (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Confirmed
