[samuel verstraete]

just tried to adjust the first test... so i made a sequence of 20 up to 200 windows... 
took an average over 3 test and dropped this in a graph... graph attached (png)

Xfwm4 handles this pretty well just untill we reach a certain treshold and then the performance just collapses... (dramatically) i think after the treshold we only have 1 new window every 2 seconds... I don't know how relevant this test is... As Xfwm4 handles the first +100 windows relatively fast i wonder how bad it is... I would like somebody to look into that c code and change the amount of windows that you he will dump...

As such we are measuring responsetime... imho this is a much more important benchmark as responsetime will determine to a large amount the user experience... It's a little hard to get a good view on this but i have the impression that 4.2.x scores better than the 'old' 4.0.x (the one rasterman uses)... Still i'm only talking about percentages... not talking about faster than gnome f.e.
