switching visual effects on and off requires me to redo all settings in compiz. help?

I own a laptop. Not because I'm switching from livingroom to bedroom and back again.But because I use it in class or on the train etc.

So for me, battery life is an important factor. And I know that lower graphical show off (like my cube etc.) gives me more pc time. But when I put visual effects to none(system=>preferences=>appearance). I have to check all the boxes again etc.

So does anybody know something like a button that allows you to turn on and off your preferred visual effects. Or some way to save those settings...

Or is that an Idea for the next ubuntu?
