Overall, the XMir performance is in decent shape when using Intel graphics and the latest open-source code, but still it isn't something Ubuntu 14.04 users will have to worry about due to the conservative state in Long-Term Support releases. Those that do want to experiment with Mir/XMir can easily do so via the packages found in the Ubuntu Trusty Tahr archive.
