I run XGL with compiz on my laptop (1.6 Pentium M, 512MB, 128MB ATI x300) and it runs great. It required a few tweaks to get it stable for my graphics card, but i love it. It makes the linux desktop fun to use. I think it feels more responsive than the stock ubuntu install i had before, but not really a significant difference. On my desktop (Athlon 64 3700, 1GB, 256MB nvidia 6800) its silky smooth.

There are still some problems with it though, some java apps dont display correctly, and some games that use openGl dont run well.
