P.S. client-side vsync isn't just a good idea that improves performance on non-buggy drivers [2], but apparently also the norm. It is the design used by gtk and clutter too. I had no idea it was so common till recently.

If you disable client-side vsync in Mir then you take latency backwards [1], and take rendering performance (on mature drivers) backwards [2]
