Note that the point wasn't for xcompmgr -a to boost anything - it's not
expected to in general. The point is to compare performance between EXA
and XAA with it or a 'real' compositing manager.

... for one specific test, which probably doesn't correspond to the
bottleneck of your desktop. I could similarly pick a test where EXA is
faster and claim that it's 'xx% faster'...
