Are you using the x.org driver (nv) or the nvidia one?
I've tried nvidia driver with RENDER extension and XFCE development
version on __gentoo__, and moving transparent windows were "smooth".
However I'd not use such a setup on a serious machine (which CentOS is
fine for). (Maybe only the nvidia driver but without the RENDER extension).
