"LinuxForums takes a look at Xgl, and concludes: "In conclusion, Xgl is an exciting technology, it still needs some work to be done mainly to do with non nvidia/ati graphics cards and extending support to a wider variety of graphics chipsets. I for one will wait a bit longer (until the holidays) before attempting to install it onto my computer, perhaps by then more animations/plugins will be made available and support for other DE's would be available." Lots of videos inside, boys and girls, so rejoice.

Well the real question you have to ask, is os X graphical system running with everything maximum on that machine?
Offcourse it isn't.
The author could have set an option in gconf(options for compiz, compiz which is making all the effects)
to actually lower the quality and actually remove a couple effects that would eat up system resources.
But I must admit Xorg isn't snappy at all but there's a lot of work changing that rapidly.
Xgl and Aiglx being good examples.
