The default pixmap format nowadays is almost always 32bpp.
That means that it needs double the bandwidth of 16bpp.
For example, if a thin client would show 16 fps in windowed youtube
(=watchable),
with X_SMART_COLOR_DEPTH=false it would show 8 fps (=unwatchable).

Compiz and Unity used to have issues with 16bpp, but those have been
fixed years ago.
I wouldn't want to default to half the possible speed just for moneyplex
or whatever other broken program may be out there.
Bug reports should be filed against them instead.
Thousands of schools here don't have any issues at all with 16 bpp.

On the other hand, I've seen cases (like some nouveau clients) that had
the opposite problem, i.e. they worked with 16 bpp but not with 24 bpp,
but anyway bug reports should be filed there as well.
