vlc fullscreen slow with compiz, works well in ubuntu

This is the first time i've ever installed archlinux (well 2 days ago) the only problem i have is that vlc when put to full screen has extremely slow video playback with compiz running. it works at normal speed with x11 output, but as we all know it looks terrible. i have a intel gma950, i would have contributed it to my card being slow but vlc+compiz work fine in ubuntu. this exact same problem is what made be switch away from fedora9.
please if anyone has any idea how this can be fixed i will be grateful times infinity

Welcome to the Arch experience.

To me, the problem seems to be coming from compiz. It's all about configurations: compiz configurations, xorg.conf, etc..

Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried comparing these configurations between Arch and Ubuntu?
