Yes, snow is very CPU intensive right now, I hope the author can sort that out.

Re: FYI: Some beryl changes

I'm having some problems with the latest svn package:

local/beryl-core-svn 1660-1
    Window manager with emphasis on visual effects and usability
local/beryl-manager-svn 1660-1
    Management dockap for beryl
local/beryl-plugins-svn 1668-1
    Plugins for beryl
local/beryl-settings-svn 1668-1
    Settings manager for beryl
local/beryl-snow-plugin-svn 1665-1
    Snow plugin for beryl
local/beryl-vidcap-svn 1462-2
    Video capture plugin for beryl
local/emerald-svn 1666-1
    Window decorator for beryl
local/emerald-themes-svn 1632-1
    Themes for emerald, the beryl window decorator

Everything was working perfectly until I upgraded, but now I get heavy flickering in beryl, when ever I move, create or close a window, the whole screen flickers and I can see different "layers" of applications during this flicker.
It also happens when I rotate the cube.

I'm using the open source radeon driver with an ATI Radeon Mobility X700.

*EDIT*
Everything works perfect again after compiling from the latest svn checkout (1708).
