That is your opinion, not a fact. Composite is not just the panel, it's 
also real transparency for all windows, shadows, etc.

I doubt you read the archives, because you seem confusing between

Well, look, if your computer is slow, what make you think that using 
OpenGL would render faster than plain 2D acceleration?

But, look, I'll make you a favor. You want to use Compiz+XGL? try
