The main loop is basically a select() call under linux. A convenient one. This means that each main loop iteration calls select with a bunch of file descriptors to listen (X server socket and other sources). If one of them has data the handler for this source is called, otherwise there is a timeout that triggers the timeout events and other timed events. So the performance should be equally to a simple select call reduced a bit with overhead of the main loop context handling. Note: I'm not a glib specialist.
