Applications that use glXSwapBuffers will benefit without modification. Apps that use the Mesa copy sub buffer extension won't benefit though.
compiz is in between; it uses swapbuffers for when the whole screen is damaged, but uses sub buffer copies otherwise. So most of its drawing will tear by default.
