Thanks for your bug. Compiz is a new technology and not part of the default installation yet. We don't have the required ressources to work on that for now and that's an upstream issue, setting it as minor and low priority. If somebody wants to take that upstream he's welcome. That could be nautilus hitting a slow cairo path and so not a nautilus issue, that would not be the first time
