I've just confirmed activity switching performance is improved by using xcompmgr.
Environment: XO C2 with build 763 (on a random laptop), with Firefox activity, Terminal activity and Journal activity all active, with Firefox displaying a reasonably complex web page, with a copy of /usr/bin/xcompmgr from a nearby Debian system. Method: without and with xcompmgr running, use Alt/Tab to switch between the three activities (Journal, Firefox, Terminal), taking note of the rate at which it can be completed over 30 seconds, keeping the Alt key depressed to avoid frame redraw. Results: without xcompmgr, ten (10) cycles. with xcompmgr, fifteen (15) cycles. There's probably a more robust method to test this, but the degree of the improvement was significant. I didn't measure the memory impact. -- James Cameron mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
