This affects me too. Can confirm that disabling vertical sync helps. Currently using a Dell Latitude E6410 with nVidia NVS3100M running TwinView mode. Performance was utterly atrocious prior to this, with periods where Compiz would hog a whole core. Disabling vertical sync seems to make the machine run much quieter and cooler.
