Ok, this is beyond weird. I have a Core 2 Duo E7500 machine with a GeForce 9800 graphics card (512 VRAM) + 3 GBs of RAM and am running Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, fully updated.
I seem to get very low FPS when running the fancy effects provided by Compiz. I've tried changing all the settings, nothing helped.
When I was ready to give up and admit it was a driver problem of some sorts, I activated the Benchmark feature in Compiz to see the exact number of frames per second. And hey, what do you know? 60 (real, not a reporting error) FPS all the way! But only with the big counter on the top left. Exceptionally smooth animations, just the way it is supposed to perform.
WTH, people? :) Thanks!
EDIT:
Erm, I disabled and enabled compiz. It works fine now.
*walks away in shame*
