The environment variable WEBKIT_FORCE_COMPOSITING_MODE has been
introduced in WebKitGTK+ 2.10.5. So that explains that you will see no
difference on previous versions.

I suggest you to try with the last stable version of WebKitGTK+, that is
right now 2.10.8

The 2.4.X branch is really old, and there is no reason to use it unless
for some reason you are forced to use the old deprecated WebKit1 API.
