Default What is Compiz with COW?

I see this option in the Beryl - Compize with COW. Please tell me what it means?

It gives me the theme that I had selected in Beryl but is much lighter than Beryl. In Beryl I get around 40 frames persecond now I get 105+ frames..

COW is "Composite Overlay Window". It is the new & preferred way, introduced in Xorg 7.1, for handling OpenGL and Composite. If it is working for you then you have a Xorg version >=7.1 and it is the recommended way to do things.

I guess most of the major distros have 7.1 on their latest releases by now.
