Re: Expocity for Debian's Gnome 2.4?

Yes, it is incredibly slow, and I would like it not included in Debian's 
metacity until it is significantly faster. I compiled it today on my 
Pentium 4 2.4 GHz with HT, and it took a second or two to switch windows 
after clicking on their title bars. I'm also using Xinerama, and it 
doesn't take that into account, splitting several preview windows across 
my monitor boundary.
