I take that back. I've queued up the timer priority fix in my PPA since it's already been accepted for upstream compiz. Could take hours to be built and published though...

compiz (1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6vv4) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Fix timer scheduling priority. It was set too high, which starved compiz'
    own event loop of X and GLX events. This caused all sorts of tearing,
    stuttering and hang-related bugs.

compiz (1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6vv3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Improved the frame timing fix (previous commit) to also avoid excessive
    lag when doing fullscreen repaints. This means you can once again use the
    compiz workaround "Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint" if
    you want.
