I think the lsof on the apps is because they are all written to use xlib, but now xlib is some library that wraps around XCB.
No toolkit/app AFAIK uses native XCB yet which as it seems, if they did, X things will be more efficient, and require less round trips. it seems its because of too many round trips, things like window resizing is slow.
Can't be certain, as GTK and Qt have not been ported over, and there does not seem to be anyone trying to, so there is no way to test the theory out.
