I have the same with Firefox - try disabling the smooth scroll in the pref. For the rest - I only have slow resize actions - rest seems "fine" - but yes the 3D stuff does eat a bit of CPU at times - becomes unusable when loading the CPU with mencoding etc. etc. But on whole my Dell D820 915i Intel with 1920x1200 performs better than I expected. Are you using Beryl, Compiz or the new Compiz-Fusion. I have best results with the last and AIGLX.
