Well, I'm fairly happy.

It will eat your cpu if you need to move a bin window | from one page to another. It was just a tool designed to showcase xcomposite, | xdamage and all the new technologies that arised in xorg. But it is just that: | a toy. I had presumed that xcomposite and friends took care of the hw acceleration if the video driver supported it. Certainly on my laptop it is an utter dog, but on the machine at work it's pretty snappy with the swanky NVidia card and nvidia driver. So much faster that the card _must_ be doing a lot of work. But I freely confess to not understanding the ins and outs of Xorg's graphics layers, and would be happy to hear a cogent explaination.
