Uncompozited KWin is definitely slower.

If you don't believe me, run the following experiment:
1) log off from your KDE session
2) switch to a text console, login as root, run `echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches`, then `free`. Remember how much RAM is actually free.
3) switch back to you graphical login manager, log in as a user, wait for KDE session to complete loading.
4) switch back to the text console and run `free` again.
Now you can compute how much RAM your KDE session really eats. And that number will astonish you, I promise

Originally posted by RealNC View PostI just installed 4.7 RC1. Kwin is even slower than before. It now officially holds the title of "worse performance in a window manager ever". It seems all this talk about "improved kwin in 4.7" is total BS :-/

I was able to make it bearable by using this ~/.drirc:
Code:<driconf> <device screen="0" driver="dri2"> <application name="Default"> <option name="vblank_mode" value="0" /> </application> </device> </driconf>

I just hope kwin works faster with fglrx. Compiz runs ridiculously better on my e-350 (but makes the rest of KDE significantly buggier than it already is).
Also, does anyone knows if kwin 4.7 finall fixes the garbage that displays momentarily when opening a new window? (Again, compiz doesn't suffer from this...)
