Comment 13 for bug 1566157

Alberts, I'm sorry, the (new) client that I tested with is giving me very inconsistent results, even by just rebooting it, and I'm not going to use it in benchmarks again in the future. It's a 3-year-old AMD-based laptop; maybe the problem is in the radeon driver or in its power states, anyway, please ignore my results in comment #11.

I tested again with the client from comment #7 (an old intel 8xx based laptop), and I reproduced what you said, i.e. that your patches indeed made metacity fast again:

no-wm: 481.234
compiz: 473.248
xenial-metacity --no-composite: 294.148
xenial-metacity --composite: 177.516
fixed-metacity --no-composite: 470.791
fixed-metacity --composite: 283.285
marco --no-composite: 471.382
marco --composite: 286.939
xcompmgr: 291.370

I also confirmed the performance increase in the i5 desktop from comment #5.

@Alberts, thank you very much, you're awesome!

@Dmitry, could we please get those patches in Xenial?
