I'have an intel graphics too: same issues of wolfie2x concerning UXA/EXA.
But I can't do without compiz, so I reverted Xorg intel driver to 2.4 following this guide:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4

Now compiz actually works much like with UXA.
And now I didn't experience system freezes (intel graph issue) nor swap growth, but the truth is that I never used my ubuntu box for more than a few dozen of minutes from when I got the downgrade above, so I can't really say if it works for sure.
I'll reply here again if I'll find it is not enough, but it could worth a shot.
Cheers.
