Thanks! Just installed them both on my laptop with an Nvidia NVS 140M and a C2D T9300. First impressions:

- I can also confirm the increase of the number of fps in glxspheres to ~140 just after logging in. This is identical to the results in gnome-shell.
- No tearing when moving windows around

Downsides:
- Aggregate CPU usage of compiz, unity and X is constantly above 5% (3% compiz, 1% unity and more than 1% X). Gnome-shell typically uses just 1-2%.
- After several minutes of using chrome, thunderbird and other applications, glxspheres frame rate dropped to 40-70fps.

Other thoughts:
- enabling of chrome flags "GPU compositing on all pages" and "GPU Accelerated Canvas 2D" has quite a detrimental effect on frame-rates.
