The performance penalty can be due to old video hardware because
both gnome-shell and cinnamon use video compositing for silly and
unnecessary stuff like transparent windows.

In fact, I blame all the new problems with both gnome3 and kde4
on video compositing.  All the whiz-bang kids doing desktop
development are determined to use compositing anywhere they can
possibly use it, even if it's silly.  Just my grouchy old opinion,
of course.
