In case you aren't sure if it's working: Super+W to move all windows is much, much faster now, and running something compiz-intensive like Google Hangouts no longer slows down the rest of the display when you have CPU+GPU to spare.
This also fixed an issue where Chrome would never report 60fps for streaming video (when I had the FPS meter open from dev tools) -- it used to top out at 40. Basically compiz no longer feels nearly as poorly-optimized as I always thought it was. But I can't seem to "automatically" get this effect to kick in by writing a bash file that automatically enables and disables the copytex plugin in dconf at login; I have to do it via compizconfig. And there's still the hotplugging issue.
