I do not agree so much on this. On my pb g4 17" dragging windows is 
somehow slow too. With xcompmgr it isn't really snappier, but the screen 
rebuild is in some way belated, and, let's say so, in blocks. It doesn't 
move the window entirely.

But probably, that's a ppc related problem (?). In any case, i notice 
some improvement, substituting openbox by a snappier wm.

Cheers.
