Disable composition while fullscreen
It would be nice to have Gala automatically decrease its power needs when an application, such as a 3D game, enters into fullscreen mode. This would be necessary so that the application or game receives the highest framerate, etc., as possible. KDE, Unity, and others have implemented similar features.

Maybe you should change the title to "Disable composition while fullscreen", because that's what you want. ~Desiderantes
Here is a link on Gnome's implementation for Undirecting Fullscreen windows, which basically means the same thing as disabling composition on fullscreen. I also added a reference from Valve's Github page on Gnome 3's performance hit due to compositing.
