--ignore-desktop-hints fixes the problem when you enable compiz while metacity was running (ex via desktop-effects) where you would have viewports and workspaces at the same time.
this is a nvidia driver bug due to sync_to_vblank when using indirect-rendering it does not work so you have not noticed that its broken.
start gconf-editor and go apps->compiz.>general->screen0->options and disable
sync_to_vblank
is the gtk-window-decorator process running when you start a new session?

That fixes the performance problem. I'm assuming that's the --direct-rendering that's fixing it. What does "--loose-binding" and "--ignore-desktop-hints" do?

Also, this has introduced some other problems:
1) I can no longer switch to the text VTs correctly. I believe this is something that NVidia was supposed to have addressed in this latest release, but apparently with direct-rendering it still doesn't work as it should. I switch once to the text VT, but when I switch back, I just have a black screen in X. The mouse still works, but nothing else is on the screen. If I do this a couple of times, I end up with a completely useless system (no keys respond any more and I can't get to a text console to init 3).

2) For whatever reason with all the hard powering off/on (b/c of the previous problem), my compiz plugin settings got whacked. So, now I can manually go into gconf-editor and add them back in, but the "decoration" plugin which gives me borders seems to disappear on each session restart. I don't know if that's something that I need to save in my session properties or not. I'll mess with that later. At least for my currently running session, I have what I need.
