Well, this isn't really much of a technical opinion, and I don't want to
start a flame war over this, but I think metacity looks a lot nicer,
there are more themes available for it (THIS IS ALL MY OPINION,
CONTRIDICT ME AT WILL!) and I'm not really sure why it would be slower.
It's also easier to make themes and install them (Trust me, I had
sawfish once and the stories I could tell...).
