It sounds as if xcompmgr is no drop in replacement for compiz, I need a windows manager too?
Yes, xcompmgr is not a window manager, you'll need one as well (I believe :). I run evilwm + xcompmgr, very light weight and suitable for HTPCs.
And this together will need less resources than compiz without anything else?
I think there's not much of a difference in your case but I suppose you can go and give it a try.
