It is in my experience and that of many others... With XAA you're
basically disabling 2D acceleration with compiz, also you'll likely run
into trouble using XVideo.
If EXA doesn't work well, it's most likely due to its offscreen memory
area being too small, possibly due to suboptimal configuration.
Anyway, if XAA works for you...
