I think there has been some regression recently as new features are added, this is a natural part of the development cycle I wouldn't judge its performance just yet, it is much more sensible to optimise the code after the features are in place.
I came back to shell after a month away because of reinstalling and it has even started lagging on my desktop Geforce 8800 since the hot corner effects. I should imagine that if old hardware can run compiz then it should be fine.
