Ok, that seems sufficient, thanks.
For a bonus, could you still explain what this FPS count actually
measures?
Something like this: it measures how often a very simple GL program
can show new content. This is limited by the monitors' refresh
rates, system load, compositor performance, and finally the
program's own performance.
"show new content" is a hint, that it does not measure rendering
speed nor "Wayland speed".
I wrote monitors in plural, because having the gears surface on
multiple monitors simultaneously might limit the FPS to the sum of
the individual refresh rates, depending a bit. I'm not sure how
Weston behaves currently.
Heh, that would be a nice headline: "Adding more monitors in clone
mode speeds up Wayland!" ;-)
Thanks,
pq
