What is Aero and where do I find it?

I'm not sure about performance, but with Aero re-enabled I've found when I Alt Tab out of the game I can't right-click on the desktop to bring up the nVidia control panel without automatically going back into the game. That and the fact that I'm not using v-sync in-game, which requires Aero being switched back on, along with a couple of other trivial reasons, means I'm still preferring to play with Aero switched off. I just find it better that way overall, at the moment anyway, but I doubt it really matters in most cases. Aero on's only advantage is that it's essential for enabling v-sync, as far as I know.
