What does "suck" mean specifically.  I'm wondering if all the "delays" 
built into the standard configuration of compiz are making you think 
it's slow.  This was my situation.  So, I opened up the config program 
and went through all the menus and reduced the delays.  Now things are 
zippy and I'm happy, although still not quite as zippy as no compiz.

You can confirm whether you have compiz off by searching through your 
processes.  Use "ps aux" in a terminal and scroll the  output for any 
compiz .. "ps aux | grep compiz" will also help but it doesn't show 
everything.

What does "move a window" mean?  Are you talking about something that 
can be fixed by reducing the delays in compiz config manager?
