My work PC is around 5 years old and has a integrated ATI graphics chip using shared memory. Compiz runs very nicely, other that a total system freeze after about 5-10 minutes. Very annoying, so I don't use Compiz anymore. > But doing some more basic stuff... I dunno, like scrolling in firefox on a > window with some flash, javascript etc. is slow and sluggish. Oh yes! This one drives me nuts! I don't know what causes it, but yes, Firefox is sometimes dog slow when scrolling pages. Yet while using Windows for the odd occasion, I haven't noticed this under Windows. > So some things are very responsive, and other things are not so. :-/ I have the same experience. Then after a while I get frustrated and switch my Window Manager to FVWM2 and run that for a week or so! FVWM2 is always lightning fast and starts up in around 1-2 seconds on my P4 2.4Ghz pc.
