What does it matter? And would an Xcb-based window manager perform well on a 68020 with only a few megabytes of RAM and a 1-bit display?

- snvzz 6y agoXcb is lighter. It requires less message bouncing back and forth. It is also simpler, and should yield less bugs. Xlib is terrible and should be avoided whether possible[0]. Everything else being equal, Xcb should be faster. This is true on current hardware, or on an Amiga 1200 with a 68030 accelboard like the one I have right next to me. The difference is actually dramatic[1].
