With that option my desktop background turns black, the windows don't 
"wobble" anymore and everything is still extremely slow.

I tried a current git checkout from freedesktop.org that support the 
--use-cow option. That improves performance a lot (and makes compiz 
actually usable) but I get the same blck desktop problem as mentioned above.
