Well, if it'staking you a second or more to draw compiz effects you must have
a really slow, cpu, not enough memory or a bad video card.

I *always* use the multiple desktop feature.  I'm constantly running 20 million
things at once.

I doubt it came from Mac.  I've got a friend who's a Mac nut & when I showed
him the compiz effects (especically the cube) and he freaked.
