Beryl 0.20
The main things for me were performance (Beryl was showing a lag the last time I tried it on my laptop, whereas Compiz was slick and smooth), and coping adequately with Suspend to RAM. Both of these boxes are checked in the new version, and it's nice to have a barrel of new features as well, including a better Control Center, the burn animation (love it for closing windows), minimized window thumbnails and transparent cube!
For consistency, with previous postings, I'm now getting this from glxgears -info
With Beryl 0.20RC2:
6356 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1271.111 FPS
7285 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1456.884 FPS
7227 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1444.934 FPS
7181 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1436.071 FPS
6785 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1356.899 FPS
With Metacity:
8291 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1658.111 FPS
9031 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1806.146 FPS
6931 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1386.142 FPS
9061 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1812.010 FPS
9049 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1809.699 FPS
So really not too bad...
