I have this kind of problem (some slowdown, lags when scrolling text 
browser, xterm, editor, ...) with composite. 

With the nvidia binary driver, the nv driver, trying the 
6.9 (experimetal) debian packages and nv driver, in 16 and 24 bpp, 
with an old TNT2 32Mo ram, with an old matrox G400 32M, with xcompmgr 
and kompmgr.
