Changing backgrounds quickly doesn't really help, since
XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap() isn't being called each time, at least when
nautilus has been disabled [I'm only checking that case right now] - or
that's what I'm seeing while using DTrace.

Also, the default set of backgrounds have completely different sizes and
types as a quick browse through /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds will
show. It might be cunning to pick one relatively plain background,
duplicate it a couple of times and change the colour of it, then edit
the xml files in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties for different
wallpaper options.

I'm also not really noticing the slowness that people are experiencing,
or at least background changing seems reasonably responsive - this may
be due to some cairo patches that we've applied locally, I'm not sure.
