intermittent air conditioning problem

My 2001 95 A/C has a slow freon leak. I have it charged once or twice a year, as that is a lot less expensive than ripping the car apart to get at the root problem.
My indy mech put in a pound of coolant last week. That's a lot; usually it is a matter of ounces needed. Two days after that, no A/C at all, but then it sometimes comes on for a while and seems fine. This appears unrelated to engine rpm or driving speed. My mech says the compressor is done, but why would it work sometimes? A switch or relay issue, maybe? I would hate to pay for a compressor and not have that solve the problem.
Another shop spent a lot of time fixing the vent and mixer doors a year or two ago.
Thanks for any troubleshooting advice.
Tom
