Looks like I've complete misunderstood the issue.
Actually I've never thought it would still be problem. I usually feel no difference between windows and linux.
Nevertheless as others mentioned it may be a window manager (metacity is famed as "slow") or a Gtk2 issue (Gtk2 is getting faster with each release aster 2.0).
Sorry for the irrelevant comments.

I have an excellent nvidia graphics card, I get excellent fps, all agp features are installed correctly etc.
In Windows or Linux? And by "all agp features are installed correctly," what do you mean and how are you getting this?
When I drag windows around wit hthe opaque settings on it leaves traces for a couple milliseconds as it redraws the window, but it just looks so crummy to see.
Umm, what Windows version offers translucent settings comparable to Linux desktops? None that I know of. And by "opaque," do you mean translucent/ "see through" is turned on, but set to 0%? If so, that's still transcluent.
dunno about y'all, but i read the OP's use of "opaque" to mean a window-manager-specific option of dragging a window while displaying its contents vs. dragging a window as an outline, which seems a much simpler explanation than all of this wacky translucency or RENDER-related stuff. hopefully the OP will clear things up.
it would also be good to know which window manager we're talking about.
i second the recommendation of using the "nvidia" driver versus the "nv" driver.
