Ahh well...  it was just my elation at being able to read something and
type something.... this can be so incredibly useful, and is one of the
first things I do.  But I install a lot from the terminal anyhow (as it
is easier and faster for me when I know the first couple letters of the
package name  TAB completion is awesome BTW)

  I think the thing to change would be how the windows are drawn during
moving.  I have been in JWM mode lately, so this may be a JWM thing...
sorry if it is.  Is there a way to change the move mode to show only the
outline of the window, instead of a live view?
I think that could considerably speed up the movement of windows.
Wait I just looked...

apparently you can!  Try this option, I think it will help.

xcompmgr doesn't need configuration, though you can add startup
parameters if you need something specific
man xcompmgr
for more info
