Yes, but the same is true in Wayland and it's automatic as well. Full screen applications don't require compositing so they typically don't, and this was the case in MOST X11 compositors as well.
Turning off compositing before launching a game is maybe a bit misguided, sort of like turning on the "classic theme" in Windows 7 before launching a game. It might save some memory, sure, but latency should be identical.
- cwillu 3mo ago> latency should be identical Should be, but very clearly isn't.
- preg_match 3mo agoThe results show it's identical. Only XWayland suffered any significant degradation, and even then we're talking <5ms which is imperceptible.
- cwillu 3mo agoThose results depend on having a 500hz monitor. There's a world of difference between a mildly-buggy rendering loop's 1-frame delay or missing a vsync deadline causing a 2ms delay vs a 16ms delay.
