Well, of all the monitors I have, I think one of them supports >60Hz refresh. Overwhelmingly (including on windows7) I've disabled compositing because it makes the machine seems laggy. A bit of tearing when I'm scrolling fast, or moving a window doesn't bother me. About the only time its annoying is low frame-rate video. So, if you think about what the tearing is it makes sense, your getting a partially drawn frame because the application didn't provide the full frame in time for the vsync, waiting to display the update for and additional one or two frames simply to assure a complete frame can only slow things down.
