Hardware Based XRender Slower than Software Rendering? 297
Neon Spiral Injector writes "Rasterman of Enlightenment fame has finally updated the news page of his personal site. It seems that the behind the scenes work for E is coming along. He is investigating rendering backends for Evas. The default backend is a software renderer written by Raster. Trying to gain a little more speed he ported it to the XRender extension, only to find that it became 20-50 times slower on his NVidia card. He has placed some sample code on this same news page for people to try, and see if this is also experienced on other setups."

It seems to do this at the same speed, whether or not I have render acceleration enabled.

Replying to this post completely negates what I was trying to accomplish with my "x" trick, but I thought you'd like to know.
