Did you solve the Firefox scrolling issue with compiz on an r300 based
card? Firefox becomes unusably slow over here (Radeon 9500pro) when I
switch to compiz but the effects themselves work smoothly.

I see the same thing with the R100. Firefox scrolling is unbearable and
so is gnome-terminal scrolling, especially full screen.
Admittedly that one is rather bad but it only happens if you scroll
using the mouse wheel not if you grap the scrollbar - I'm thinking
pango?
I know everybody likes to kick pango, but this is not pango's fault. The
problem is that when we run compiz on AIGLX, we kick out all pixmaps to host
memory. This means that XCopyArea (which is what drives most scrolling) is no
longer accelerated and furthermore, for each line you scroll, we have to copy
the pixmap contents back out to the card. This is the big bottleneck in the
compiz+AIGLX architecture, we're hoping to fix it post-fc6.
