Dunno whats responsible, but last time I tried, I experienced severe slowdowns. No such things so far.. should it continue to work without problems I will keep it :)
The only thing thats missing is Vsync for videos.

I'm still seeing 169.12 on the nVidia web site. Am I missing something here? Also, exactly what is gnome-compositing? I've heard of Compiz Fusion, but where do you get this gnome-compositing?

the newest gnome (the one in hardy) has a built it composite manager,it has none of the cool effects of compiz, but it does allow things like live thumbnails, and transparencies.

Im using same NV-Drivers as before, no idea what update is responsible for compositing working nicely now (maybe kernel-scheduling?)
And the right term is metacity-compositing, unlike compiz this is done right in gnomes default window-manager, so no ackward differences in UI-Handling, and both lighter and much more stable.
To enable (you should disable compiz-compositing before - do so in the "Appearance" GUI ):
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true
To disable:
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager false
or run gconf-editor and navigate to the key manually

The metacity compositor has always worked well for me (I have an Intel onboard graphics card) :)
