For certain things and hardware some of the compositing costs are visible
(but it seems not as bad as they were in the past). I disabled
compositing on the my main box because it made both gimp and cad work
slower as the pointer became a bit too laggy to put up with when doing
fine work.

XFCE presents compositing much better than Gnome - you can turn it on/off
trivially and you get a meaningful user interface for configuring the
degree of transparancy on various objects.

The Gnome one on the other hand is all a bit strange, random bits of it
are hidden elsewhere (eg in the terminal app), and various things get
confused if you turn it on/off (eg gnome-terminal) - a bug thats a good
three years or more old now.
