I have found that unredirecting fullscreen windows does help in many of
cases, and I've used it before with games and "old" compiz classic (the
one in Lucid). But I have also found the option rather unreliable in
practice. I've resolved most issues by using a separate Openbox session
dedicated to fullscreen gaming. Not a very desirable solution, but it
works wonders for the performance .. (Why Openbox instead of Unity2D ?
Because even Unity2D with disabled compositing in metacity causes
performance issues with some games for me - Limbo in fullscreen from
Humble Bundle V comes to mind.). Nvidia-blob & Ubuntu 12.04.
