Considering I'm on an AthlonXP @ ~2GHz, 512M and /without/ using my
NVidia card's RenderAccel even xfwm4's composite manager is slow, I'd
say you're out of luck.

It's nifty to have it on, I ran that way for a long time, but I always
end up disable the Composite extension in the end because (as everyone
says) it's still experimental.
