compiz - slow window resize

i'm using compiz-fusion with latest nVIDIA drivers (7950 GT)
window resizing is just unbearably slow...
i realise that problem has been there for a while (read some articles about it...) yet sure there isn't some solution?
Such as... on some systems the thing works ok more or less so far i understood ...
Currently i set the option for window resizing in gettings manager to Outline instead of Normal, at least it's functional now.

Re: compiz - slow window resize

Works fine for me on my 8600gt probably around the same speed of card. Using Nvidia 177.80. I havent changed any rendering options in compiz, but I have seen that some people need to turn off Indirect Rendering or something like that. IIRC it was on the Fusion Icon menu, however I dont use that so I cannot really comment.
Could be the Force Indipendant Painting Output option on the General tab in compiz config?

Re: compiz - slow window resize

Could try turning Indirect rendering on then I guess. Possible an older driver like 173.xx could help. Just taking shots in the dark Im not really sure whats gone wrong there sorry
