Ah, I forgot to include the results without a window manager as a comparison:
$ killall metacity & sleep 5 && glxgears -fullscreen & sleep 20 && killall glxgears 44884 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8976.656 FPS 44905 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8980.993 FPS Normalized: 118 FPS, the fastest of all. $ killall metacity & sleep 5 && glxgears -fullscreen & sleep 20 && killall glxgears 1743 frames in 5.0 seconds = 348.422 FPS 1713 frames in 5.0 seconds = 342.471 FPS Normalized: 94 FPS, slower than compiz. That may be due to compiz not using the whole screen in glxgears -fullscreen; the drawing area didn't include the panels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1566157 Title: Metacity's compositing is too slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/1566157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
