Write a Wayland Compositor [video]

I mean in thumbnails and while switching workspaces and all that... There's never any frozen frames, skips or anything. Yes, eventually X got compositing, but not for most of its life and not in mainstream WMs.

Compiz has been around for 16 years now

Yeah, I did mention that in my comment and also that it's not Metacity/Mutter, KWin or popular. On the other hand, I've never seen Compiz perform this well.

I am using XFCE, which has included a compositor for many years.

I think that it counts as a mainstream WM.
