Johan's Interesting GNOME text rendering benchmarks
Thursday Jun 09, 2005
In case anyone missed it, Johan Steyn began his blog with an interesting GNOME vs CDE performance measurement. He looks at time and network traffic to a Sun Ray appliance on Solaris and Linux. A few interesting comments have already been entered on this topic. Since monochrome fonts can make some GNOME applications at least as fast CDE, would it be possible for fast scrolling (moving?) text to be rendered monochrome and only anti-aliased when stationary? Would it make sense to put this intelligence into individual applications or would it be more appropriate to put it into Cairo or somewhere else? Can extentions such as Xrender and DAMAGE and compositing libraries such as Cairo help optimize the traffic between the thin client and the server?
