As I said in my original post:

AFAICS, anyway, disabling effects still leaves Compiz the WM, just
with the chrome disabled. It's dog-slow, anyway, whereas Metacity is
reasonably quick.

It's sufficiently slow that on my Pentium M 1.6GHz PC with 1GB of RAM
running off a 7200rpm 160GB disk, it can't keep up with my ~80wpm
typing in Gedit. That's unusably slow to me and makes Ubuntu massively
unpleasant to use.
