More Compiz Fusion Woes: Reflexion Plugin

The Reflexion plugin is supposed to add a "reflexion" to transparent objects and shadows, rather like the immobile sun-rays that are rendered in the Windows Vista transparent places, except completely customisable.  It was always something I wanted to try, so when I found I could do it in Compiz Fusion, I naturally tried it.

It worked, in that I could see the reflexion.  The problem was that my computer slowed to a halt, just like with the alpha-blur in my other post.  I don't know if the plugin existed in the old Beryl, but I would hypothesise that it would have worked for me there, because the blur worked in Beryl.  I don't see why Compiz Fusion has such a hard time making cool features work with my graphics card, when an outdated software did just fine...
