I get similar problems with my Toshiba Tecra S1 with a Mobility 9000 R250 i.e. desktop is unbearably slow both with and without compiz going. Feisty was fine with compiz running.
Xorg.0.log reports that DRI is enabled, however glxinfo says that indirect rendering is being used and nothing shows when I set the debug variables. I also get kernel messages about mtrrs not being found: [ 2743.024000] mtrr: no MTRR for a8000000,2000000 found [ 2745.508000] agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
