Franklin, probably not what you wanted to hear, but I wonder if you would 
consider dropping compiz (at least temporarily) and trying kde's desktop 
effects, selecting the effects that give you compiz-like performance.  It would 
be good to know whether it does the same job, as well as compiz did.  I 
suspect that, if it does, it would be a better option, in that it uses kde 
tools.
