Comment 74 for bug 687567

Others desktop should be reference for responsiveness in Ubuntu. Nobody has the answer why Compiz works extremely fast and responsive only on Mandriva GNOME and no other distribution, there is something in Mandriva that outputs such smooth and responsive desktop effects and frame rates. Put them side by side and you'll see what I'm talking about. You have to examine xorg.conf, nux and theme engines, not Compiz.
