Complain to the developers of your X driver to make their XRender faster. I don't see any lag on my systems. While I don't doubt that Metacity might be able to be faster in this area, I think the main problem is just bad XRender implementations but people keep complaining to the wrong place. http://vizzzion.org/?blogentry=820 > On Thu, 2008-06-26 at 17:43 +0200, Patryk Zawadzki wrote: >> > Metacity's compositor works pretty well here except for slow workspace >> > switching. >> >> That should be addressed separately by switching from many-desktops >> mode to small-viewport-over-a-large-desktop mode. > > Can that be done (is this the right solution for the Metacity hackers to > follow)?

I'd imagine so, as it would probably require a fairly hefty rewrite of a lot of the code for gain that we're not even sure we'll get. iain _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
