The wm-spec does not give a very good rationale for the USER_TIME property. It is supposed to be for prioritizing newly mapped windows, but that doesn't justify updating the timestamp on every input event. Some of the overhead is avoided with _NET_WM_USER_TIME_WINDOW, but it still means sending an XChangeProperty for every key-stroke. Does updating the time for every event really server a useful purpose?
