Some compiz animations (most, though not all) cause temporary freezes. For example, when spinning the cube or switching between applications, everything on the screen suddenly freezes for a couple of seconds, and then it returns to normal. The desktop behaves sort of like a narcoleptic person would. Normally, this behavior starts a couple of minutes after X has started. That is, when logging in to a GNOME session, everything is smooth and
fine for a couple of minutes, and then this problem surfaces making compiz unusable. Furthermore, the problem only appears when using EXA. With UXA this particular problem does not appear.

Unfortunately, I haven't found anything of interest in the logs and don't know
where else from to get additional useful information. Please let me know how I
can help.

Xorg.0.log attached.

This is on Jaunty with the following packages.
libdrm: 2.4.4-0ubuntu2
libgl1-mesa-dri: 7.3~rc3-1ubuntu1
xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu1
linux-image-2.6.28-5: 2.6.28-5.15

I reported the upstream bug as well, but with packages I had compiled myself for intrepid.
