it's there next to the gl engine option in comp. if u have the gl option... if you don't you're runing software compositing. the speed of rendering itself is entirely determined by the speed of your cpu and how fast u can write pixels to the framebuffer from system memory, BUT... updating client windows (eg scrolling firefox around - any updates that happen inside an application window) require a COPY from the pixmap to system memory. if the pixmap lives in video ram ANd the driver doesnt have some fast DMA path READING data from video memory can be VERY VERY VERY slow. video cards are designed for writes from system side, not for reads (note that integrated gpu's like intels don't have this problem as they have no video ram). my experience with nvidia's drivers though is that they do implement an accelerated dma path for fetches, unless this has changed recently. using opengl + texture from pixmap means there is no need to read. all data stays on the video card at all times and is drawn by the gpu in video memory directly. it will be as fast as your gpu is able to actually draw anything. as such i have the nvidia drivers on most of my machine and evas + gl work a treat on them - including the compositor. > 2011/4/26 Carsten Haitzler <ras...@rasterman.com> > > > On Tue, 26 Apr 2011 20:01:45 -0300 Wido <wido...@gmail.com> said: > > > > should be fast even with the software compositor. i run the software comp > > on a > > pentium-m 600mhz laptop without problems. sure - not totally silky smooth > > but > > manages 20-60fps (or better) the vast majority of the time. > > > > did you enable the opengl engine for comp and texture-from-pixmap? > > > > > hey! this is super-awesome!! but they work > > sssssssloooooooowwwwwwww.......
