[Compiz] [Bug 901097] Re: Add option to use glXSwapBuffers on every frame, not just full-screen redraws.
Care must be taken with removing glFinish as doing so may cause additional latency. Ideally the drawing should occur as late as possible, right before the buffer swap (1-5 ms latency at compositing stage) but it may be difficult to guarantee that the deadline isn't missed (causing frameskips). Drawing right after the previous swap is much easier and still acceptable (one frame latency). If no glFinish is done, the display driver may buffer multiple completed frames, leading to high latency. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901097 Title: Add option to use glXSwapBuffers on every frame, not just full-screen redraws.

[Compiz] [Bug 901097] Re: Add option to use glXSwapBuffers on every frame, not just full-screen redraws.
But don't panic too much. Before new rendering modes are added, I planned on adding a simple config option to the opengl plugin so we can switch between the existing (and future) rendering modes. So we don't need to settle on a single solution. Just decide which is default :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901097 Title: Add option to use glXSwapBuffers on every frame, not just full-screen redraws.

[Compiz] [Bug 901097] Re: Add option to use glXSwapBuffers on every frame, not just full-screen redraws.
Even 400 lines is way too much change for precise. And I haven't done any performance testing on it yet. At the moment forcing full screen redraws provides the highest framerates and lowest CPU (compiz+Xorg). It also means regional damage debugging with showrepaint is irrelevant. And it's even lower CPU than the prototype in comment #1. Keep in mind that the opengl plugin goes through the motions of drawing ALL windows regardless of the rendering mode. So the more complex the regions (even if they're small), the more CPU it uses. I would like to benchmark the GLES rendering when I have time. But it's irrelevant this close to release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901097 Title: Add option to use glXSwapBuffers on every frame, not just full-screen redraws.
