No - system wide double buffering would not further increase performance over the current 2D acceleration, and it would consume (1200x900x2=2Mb) of memory that we could otherwise use for offscreen memory. Plus, I'm not sure how this would interface with the shadow frambuffer mechanisms we use for RandR. If an application needs to be double buffered - then it can implement it iself with simple Xlib calls which are backed by accelerated hooks.
