These are important of course but what about performance ? Just to add my experience of running both, I have found compiz much better. I have an nvidia go 5640 with 128M. compiz runs perfectly smoothly, the effects look great and don't slow things down. With beryl, the effects are more jerky and no where near as smooth. Reading around the mailing lists I also understand that beryl is not as well implemented as compiz. It requires two pixmaps per client window whereas compiz only needs one (someone please correct me here if I am wrong). So it simply uses more video ram to do the same things. So please, can we also bring performance into the discussion. From my experiences beryl is not yet ready to replace compiz, but maybe others have different experiences. I for one would like to see both beryl and compiz being kept available, just to see how both projects pan out.
