  1. Speak Chinese if you found English an issue for you -- I don't have a problem understanding it -- or find somebody to translate your words.
  2. --unredir-if-possible could be a quick and dirty workaround, as far as you run Urban Terror in full-screen mode.
  3. "Slower" is a moderately unclear description. It could be caused by a wide variety of reasons but apparently there's no information you've provided that could help to determine the exact cause. Definitely your related hardware specification, driver and kernel versions, screen set-up (i.e. if you have a multi-head setup or rotated screen, etc.), version of your compton and X server, and compton / X / driver configuration should be provided when you report such an issue.
  4. Make sure you have a sufficiently new version of compton.
  5. Improper VSync is one of the top reason that produces so-called "slowness". You may try disabling all VSync options, in compton and in your driver, to check if that's the cause.
  6. It could be a real performance issue, though compton is quite efficient that this rarely happens unless you have certain resource-hogging options enabled (--invert-color-include, --blur-background) or is under heavy load. You may spot high CPU/GPU usage or high CPU/GPU fan speed / temperature. Dropping those options in compton may help. Tuning your driver configuration probably would probably work. Switching between X Render and GLX backend may bring you something, and the GLX backend optimization options worth investigation. Lowering the quality settings of Urban terror could act as a last resort.
