Forget to report this... If you enable UXA in xorg.conf the performance of desktop effects is quite good. The downside is that compiz.real consumes a lot of memory. It starts normal but after a couple of hours the memory usage is several hundred megabytes. I turned my laptop on this morning and at noon compiz.real used 500Mb, logging in and out or restarting X brings memory usage back to normal... temporarily
My laptop has 2GB RAM so I don't really mind, but intel and compiz are still a bit buggy... :)
