Wonder how a stand-alone Openbox or Awesome WM Setup would compete.

What I actually wanted to know is if KDE can suspend desktop effects for better performance, how does it look like if you have a game like HoN running in fullscreen on the primary monitor while the secondary monitor handles the desktop? Does it still suspends desktop effects and how does using the desktop on the secondary monitor feels like?
Thank you for an answer nevertheless.

Didn't that Ubuntu use Unity? [http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux.../#comment-4328]
Just imagine a "KDE SC 4.9 - Suspended" ? so much more frames per second ?

Originally posted by marek View PostNormally, a window writes into an offscreen framebuffer of the size of the window, which is later copied onto the screen at the position of the window. If the compositor can properly detect a fullscreen window, it can skip the copying and render to the screen directly. It's only the copying that makes the difference.

Originally posted by mrugiero View PostIf you use dual head, use a fullscreen window in one screen. Then, if you choose to suspend effects when fullscreen, you have the other head without visual effects as well, giving you a less appealing desktop. If you choose to not suspend, well, you get the Unity-like performance in the fullscreen app. Beats me what should happen if using two fullscreen apps, one in each screen.Last edited by Teho; 07 September 2012, 02:21 PM.

Originally posted by Teho View PostThat's not how it works. Only the full screen window and windows beneath it lose the composition and it doesn't seem to affect the other screen at all. I'm doing that all the time because the only way I can get tear free video on my external monior is by using MPlayer without compositing with VDPAU output . I'm not sure how it affects performance though.

I love the screencap of the new Ubuntu login session scrolling right off the screen. I'm serious when I say: I don't think they test this stuff.
So can we conclude that Cinnamon would be similar to GNOME Shell in terms of performance?
