KWin Can Cause A Performance Hit Too, But It's Different From Compiz

Three things Phoronix couldnât measure

| I expected more drama when Phoronix did the
| smart thing, and finally put numbers to the
| Arch-over-Ubuntu rumor, and branded it as a
| myth. But for what Iâve seen, users on both
| sides seem to nod and accept the results,
| without too much scuffling.

The Cost Of Running Compiz

Beware the benchmarks.

| Today phoronix published an article called
| âThe Cost of Running Compizâ. While the
| content in the article is mostly true, and
| likely points out the obvious, I should
| probably clarify a few things before my
| inbox fills up with (n readers * ~ 8 ) mails
| telling me that compiz is slow and I need to
| fix it.
|
| The article basically tests the performance
| of applications while they are being run as
| redirected windows. What does that mean?
| Well, for the better part of the year,
| pretty much 95% of graphics hardware has
| some support for what we call âredirected
| direct renderingâ, both through open source
| and proprietary drivers. NVIDIA was the
| first to get this feature, and then most of
| the other drivers picked it up last year.
