*that* list is almost endless.  it would be futile to try and compile 
one.  actually, it would be a good job for a co-op student or an intern.  :)

great.  glad i could help.

i've seen lots of videos on youtube etc. featuring compiz/beryl using 
xgl and they all seem to run really fast and be really stable.  this has 
not been my experience.

that said, i probably just can't google well enough to come up with the 
tweaks which would make my hardware perform.
