But you *are* aware that the emulated 3D layer that Beryl uses will  
cause a massive slowdown unless some kind of (real) hardware  
acceleration is being used, right?

2D acceleration (which applies to "any other window manager") isn't  
going to be much of a problem. That was solved years ago with  
blitters and whatnot.
