 No lockups I'm on a laptop also a T60 Lenovo in fact I run beryl 8 or 
more hours a day with out problems but i will say it has some quirks you 
have to figure out when you configure some of the features also its very 
hard to get it to work with Gset-Kiba dock I gave up think its due to 
running an XGL session but haven't investigate further.

The way i run is configure and then log in to a gnome-XGL session only 
then start beryl manager from the system Tools also you must revert to 
version 2.0 of beryl not the latest it wont work with ATI drivers or XGL.
