Comment 88 for bug 760814

On natty, I also downgraded Compiz to 0.8.6 using the method in #84 and it fixed this issue (abysmal compiz/opengl performance). This appears to be a regression between 0.8.6 and 0.9.4. I would try to bisect this myself, but my attempts to compile compiz from source and run it have been full of fail. I'm installing the compiled compiz with prefix /usr/local/, so that I don't overwrite the real installation, but it hasn't worked. I get "can't find library" and "can't find plugin" or "wrong plugin version" errors.

If anyone can show me how to properly build and install compiz (core, plugins-main, plugins-extra, etc...) from the source, I can try to find out which version/commit introduced this bug. It has the benefit of being easily reproducible.

Let me know what I can do to resolve this.
