[fixed]Help with Compiz lag :'(

EDIT: It seems as the though the Emerald theme manager was the issue. I installed GTK2 theme manager, disabled Emerald, and everything runs buttery smooth now.

I just got compiz working, and I love it. I actually smiled when I first did ctrl+alt+right arrow to change workspaces, and saw the nifty animation. The only problem is, sometimes it creates an incredible amount of lag with everything. I'll try and outline a typical situation.

Open up fusion icon
Switch window manager to compiz
Be able to easily fly through workspaces (0 lag)
Click on one window (which is already open), takes forever
Workspace switching lags
Everything lags
Switch back to xfwm4

Terminal really messes with compiz as well.

I have emerald running also, as the window decorator.

I suppose it could be that my meager hardware cannot handle the graphical enhancements of compiz (Core duo 1.66ghz, Intel 950gma, 2gb ram), but I do not understand why it would work so well and then suddently fall apart.

Anyone have any idea what I should do? As corny as it is, the graphical workspace switching is probably my favorite part of this whole first Arch install so far.
