Don't think it has anything to do with 2D graphics performance at the driver level, even an embedded Intel chipset runs Compiz flawlessly on my D420. I think Java UI performance has more to with X-windows and the dispatching of events through the associated layers of the stack. Even if now using Cairo, Firefox on Linux still scrolls slower than on WIndows, especially for embedded content like Flash.
