I'm glad that you have Compiz Fusion running. Unfortunately, I can't help
with the framerate; it's just above my level of expertise. Maybe someone
more experienced could help. By the way, the Compiz Fusion forums (
http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/) are good as well, a lot of knowledgeable
people there...

Good luck
