I would recommend using it actually.  It makes quite a difference in the
VNC applications; I can watch OTA HD TV at several FPS over VNC with it (I
know, not really watchable, but still impressive given the overall
inefficiency of the VNC protocol).

The only reason I haven't compiled into Ubuntu < Oneiric is that it is
only available as a package in Oneiric and up.
