I'm now getting much better performance with the latest metacity in
Oneiric, eg 150-250 fps in glxspheres versus 80-120 in compiz, and 50-60
fps in Alien Arena vs 30-45.

Title:
  metacity performance regression in natty/nvidia

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: metacity

  In Natty, metacity performs much, much worse than in Maverick. I see a
  drop in framerates with games run in wine and of about 50%, and
  glxgears reports less than 1000 fps compared to 9000 fps in Maverick.
  (glxgears under compiz in Natty reports an excellent framerate of
  around 3500, but the gears actually only appear to turn once or twice
  a second.)

  It is of significance because running games under compiz in Natty
  doesn't provide better frame rates than in Maverick.

  This is on a Dell XPS 15 with an nvidia 8600 graphics card and running
  the nvidia 270.30 drivers.
