Thanks for testing! Good to know that performance has increased. :)

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

No, it is not ready. Composited case will have few regressions (in
wip/test-3-18 branch). One I have already fixed localy, but there are at
least two other things - I had problems with rounded corners and alt-tab
dialog.

Dmitry, do we have time to get new upstream bug fix release in xenial?
