Hi Michael, three things:
* Yes, at least provide glxinfo and Xorg.0.log from when compiz is enabled, as
that'll indicate if software rendering is enabled (and perhaps why)
* Try booting with KMS disabled (radeon.modeset=0) to see if this is the
(known) performance impact of KMS. (However typically the performance is not
so bad that the system becomes unusable).
* Have you had -fglrx installed previously? If so, it may have left some of
its gl libs in the way. Make sure to completely purge it - see the guide about
this at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/
** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
Using a default installation of Lucid Beta 2 (installed onto a USB
stick), the system is borderline unusable because of extremely slow
visual response. This was the case with a daily build that I tested
several days ago, as well as both a default and an up-to-date
installation of Beta 2. These issues only happen with Compiz enabled.
Clicking on 'Applications' quickly pops up the menu (though not with the
smooth fade I've come to expect from Compiz). When I move my mouse from
'Applications' to 'Places,' though, it takes nearly 3 seconds to hide
the 'Applications' menu and draw the 'Places' menu. Similarly,
attempting to resize or move a window does nothing for the first couple
seconds, and when the window does finally move, the redrawing is
choppier than an uncomposited Metacity.
This is a major regression compared to the Karmic and Jaunty, which both
ran Compiz flawlessly out of the box with the default Radeon driver.
Disabling Compiz makes the system usable.

If there's more I can do to help, I'd be glad to. I've spent the last
several minutes trying to record a video of the problem, but recordMyDesktop
keeps crashing. If I can get it to work, I'll post the video here.
