My work PC is around 5 years old and has a integrated ATI graphics
chip using shared memory. Compiz runs very nicely, other that a total
system freeze after about 5-10 minutes. Very annoying, so I don't use
Compiz anymore.

Oh yes! This one drives me nuts!  I don't know what causes it, but
yes, Firefox is sometimes dog slow when scrolling pages. Yet while
using Windows for the odd occasion, I haven't noticed this under
Windows.


> So some things are very responsive, and other things are not so. :-/

I have the same experience.  Then after a while I get frustrated and
switch my Window Manager to FVWM2 and run that for a week or so!
FVWM2 is always lightning fast and starts up in around 1-2 seconds on
my P4 2.4Ghz pc.
