I think what he's talking about is the problem with moving/resizing
windows. There are 2 problems here (I think you all know):

- the kernel/server/WM/app message roundtrip. That's the way X is
architectured, you can't do much here.

- the ressource starvation: as modern toolkits tend to be heavy on
redrawing, X's scheduler gives more priority to the WM which means the
toolkit can't update the window. The solution I see is to tell the WM
not to update the size/position of the window more than necessary (which
would be near each 1/25th of a second). I think Havoc will try that on
Metacity (or I'll do it myself if I have time)
