Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nvidia-settings

As per this forum post:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469528

In a nutshell, when nvidia-settings --load-config-only is run on startup
(which is a default action), compiz performance becomes rather terrible.
This has been confirmed on both fresh install and upgrade.

The workaround is to disable the action on startup. However, manually
going to the nvidia-settings program will bring compiz down to its knees
again (at least in my case: I believe another person had no problem).
