For certain things and hardware some of the compositing costs are visible (but it seems not as bad as they were in the past). I disabled compositing on the my main box because it made both gimp and cad work slower as the pointer became a bit too laggy to put up with when doing fine work. XFCE presents compositing much better than Gnome - you can turn it on/off trivially and you get a meaningful user interface for configuring the degree of transparancy on various objects. The Gnome one on the other hand is all a bit strange, random bits of it are hidden elsewhere (eg in the terminal app), and various things get confused if you turn it on/off (eg gnome-terminal) - a bug thats a good three years or more old now.
