Public bug reported:

When compiz is enabled, all of my games have a slight jag to them,
skipping a few frames every second. This choppiness can range from
merely annoying to headache-inducing, depending on the game. This is not
Unity-specific as running a unity-less compiz session still presents the
issue. Furthermore, this is not an Nvidia binary issue as the nouveau
driver makes no difference.

Game performance is butter-smooth when I use Ubuntu 2D. Not a hiccup to
be had.

For an example of the choppiness, please see the video. Watch the
clouds. Since the video was recorded at only 15 fps, the choppiness is
slightly higher than what I actually experience.
