That's what Quartz Extreme does to Mac OS X's interface. Not only does it make the UI faster, it makes the system faster overall because it offloads a lot of work (compositing) from the CPU onto the graphic card.
Ever see the CPU peg to 100% usage when dragging around a transparent window? That isn't the case when Quartz Extreme comes into play.
