Hmm. I noticed the opposite. However, I can confirm the following: > But with wimii-3, when I launch firefox and run several > programs at the same time, I can feel it is not as responsive > as fluxbox. The problem seems to be firefox for some odd reason, and I investigated a lot of time back in autumn to solve this issue. It seems that firefox produces heavy socket traffic on FocusIn/FocusOut events which delay new connections to wmiiwm (using wmiir for example) heavily. This problem does not occur with fluxbox/other WMs, because they aren't driven through accessing a 9P service but do most stuff internally (which has it's pros and cons). What could help would be a persistent connection, which is accessed by a persistent wmiir instance. This can be achieved using a 9P client written in Plain C with libixp or lib9pclient, or in any other native 9P library which does not need to call wmiir or 9p(1). Regards, -- Anselm R.
