If I set it to none that disables Compiz right? Assuming I do that do I need to reboot the machine or restart X (such as ctrl+alt+bksp) for the performance increases to take effect? Or can I just restart Steam and it will run better without the need to restart anything? You do not need to restart anything when switching the window manager.
