The reason being is that compiz has better memory management than beryl (technically, beryl requires 2 full pixmaps per client window, compiz only one). For me, with a 128M nvidia 5650go, I run into the black window problem after only a few windows with beryl, but have never seen it with compiz. Also, compiz appears, at least for me, smoother and faster. Running beryl the effects are quite jerky.
