...AFAIK, performance under Xwayland (and xMir for that matter) is lower than in X...so, they will notice, at minimum , that difference.

On the other hand, rendering toolkits could use acceleration, too, either with an agnostic, specialized 2D driver (kind of DDX, but generic for any toolkit) or via OpenGL, so this possible hog of the CPU sounds like a temporary problem, if any.

For sure you can notice you are in wayland because the window composite process is smooth and perfect.
I think Wayland+Xwayland is a better X.Last edited by sp82; 04 October 2013, 06:52 AM.

XWayland is meant to be used as a rootless application-specific server, in such a way that there's a private, rootless XWayland X-server server for each X application. In this way, the X applications can actually be faster than they are in plain X, as each application can run fullscreen with composite bypass inside its own X-server, and the window composition is done by Wayland, which is more efficient than X.

[QUOTE=Daktyl198;361370]Okay, let me rephrase that:
SHM and DRI2 (which are the only two that are used anymore) don't work over a network.
Thus, X.org is "Network capable" but not "Network Transparent".
AFAIK SHM and DRI2 is not part of the X Window System standard. They are used by extensions.
And the XFree86 server is not part of the X11 standard either. It's just one server implementation among many.
DRI2 is Linux specific right? or do AIX, IRIX, Solaris and HP-UX have DRI2?
