I tried compiz with the mesa currently in Debian Sid (8.0.5-3), and it worked fine until I tried to run celestia. Celestia hung before it rendered anything and had to be killed, and compiz got stuck at 2 fps or less. I logged out and back in, and compiz worked fine again.

So, it's better, but still has problems.

I'm tempted to say it's a quirk of the Inspiron 1721 (which isn't my main system anymore, btw), but I don't really know enough to speculate.
