Unity through llvmpipe is slow

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I have a two years old laptop (AMD, 1core@1.6Ghz) which video card is
not supported by any driver (ATI radeon X1200).
On Precise, it ran with Unity 2D. It was not really fast, but it was usable.
I tested Quantal (latest daily-live) and I found that the desktop was not
usable.
- the opening/closing animation of a window or menu takes 3 seconds each time
- opening the dash takes around 5 seconds
- moving windows is horribly jerky
- when idle (just with a terminal and a top), compiz eat ~8% of the CPU
AFAIK, compiz supports degrading the user experience according to the
computer capabilities.
So why not applying a custom profile to llvmpipe to disable menu fade in/out,
windows animations, blur and/or transparency?
Such (supposedly) simple changes could boost FPS quite a bit and lead weak
computers to be usable again in this use case.
I could not test myself because ccsm is no longer available in Quantal (I
don't know how to tweak Compiz/Unity without it).
