it also matters whether the animation frames are synced to the vertical
blanking timings. One thing you can do to make quite a few compiz
related things smoother is to turn the mouse position polling down to 1
(or anything less than about 15) this will mean that panning around a
zoomed desktop is totally smooth and if you have the show mouse plugin
the stars keep pace with the mouse and look beautiful. Apparently there
is no performance penalty for doing this now that the compiz mainloop
has changed a bit (I don't know the details, I just asked in the #compiz
IRC channel what the performance impact would be). I think I submitted a
patch suggesting a change to the default mouse polling time somewhere.
