I've done some tests of the CUT and I've determined that it does
provide a very substantial benefit, and does so for common cases. What
I've tested with so far are:

a) firefox (probably all double buffered applications)
b) metacity with compositing

In both cases it removes upwards 90% of the changes, which is a massive
saving. And the cases above aren't rare and exotic.

(I also seem to recall that Qt4 does double buffering by default)

So I say we need to turn it back on by default. If it has performance
issues, then we should look at optimising it, not killing it completely.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
