And where in my post You see _anything_ that says "I don't want gnome deps becouse it slows my system" ?
I just noted that it needs gnome deps, I was wrong becouse I had gnome use flag in package.use (in make.conf I got -gnome) and I didn't noticed that this USE flag is on with compiz but still, there is no word about speed or optimizing anything.

You guys need to get over the dependency thing.
I don't think I ever will. I was born with AntiGnome emblem tatooed on my forhead.
It is just NOT a big deal! No, your system will not be "bloated" from having extra libraries installed.
It IS a very big deal to me. And yes,the system will be very much bloated with extra tens of megabytes of libs and useless Gnome junk.
it is always because of poorly written programs that brings the hardware to it's knees
Exactly, the goal here is to avoid the poorly written, bloated, and badly performing Gnome libraries.
BTW, Compiz/Beryl are still highly experimental and not really suitable for production use machines.
So your last sentence is the evidence of how clueless you really are on this issue.

You guys need to get over the dependency thing. It is just NOT a big deal! No, your system will not be "bloated" from having extra libraries installed. Unless you are running your system on a 386 with 8 Mb RAM, this is simply not an issue. You only get the false illusion of 'optimizing' your system, when what you really get is a millisecond here and there, making absolutely no difference at all.
No, you cannot feel the difference. If you think you can, it's an illusion. Human-Computer Interaction is generally not a very quick process, and when computers seem sluggish, it is always because of poorly written programs that brings the hardware to it's knees (such as using the wrong algorithm on the wrong type of data, leaking memory leading to thrashing, etc.).
Linux, however, is not poorly written, and neither is Gnome or any of it's dependencies. And neither are Compiz/Beryl.
