compiz effects sluggish on first go

[felixnine]

pangolin, karmic up-to-date, nvidia g105m.

after i've been on one workspace for a while (i figure about a minute or so, maybe less), i notice that if i scale all windows or switch the workspace (using desktop wall), the animation is really sluggish and choppy the first time. the second time, if its within that minute or so, it's super smooth like normal. anyone else?

not the case for me... it's always smooth on my machine (and it's got crappy intel integrated graph card)

It is not a bug. I talked about this in more detail HERE (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1311946).
