Hey Olivier,
Noticed something interesting/annoying. With the composite extension
enabled, but with *no* compositor running, ARGB windows are very "slow".
When they are first drawn, I can actually see it being drawn from top
to bottom. When I drag the window around, it's very jerky and slow.
Non-ARGB windows don't seem to have this problem. I just noticed
because I updated Terminal to latest svn, so now it's using the builtin
vte transparency. Dragging around windows from the "old" instance of
Terminal is still snappy. Setting XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 before
running Terminal also gives good performance. Is this something
WM-related, or is it just the X server?
