Public bug reported:
I just noticed that compiz' EGL code calls eglWaitGL on every frame
which appears to be pointless. We don't need and certainly don't want to
synchronize on every frame. That prevents the CPU and GPU from operating
in parallel, which could have a significant performance impact on some
systems.
