36 * The DMX server code is written to call #dmxSync() whenever an XSync()
37 * might be necessary. However, since XSync() requires a two way
38 * communication with the other X server, eliminating unnecessary
39 * XSync() calls is a key performance optimization. Support for this
40 * optimization is provided here. Statistics about XSync() calls and
41 * latency are gathered in #dmxstat.c.
43 * During the initial conversion from calling XSync() immediately to the
44 * XSync() batching method implemented in this file, it was noted that,
45 * out of more than 300 \a x11perf tests, 8 tests became more than 100
46 * times faster, with 68 more than 50X faster, 114 more than 10X faster,
47 * and 181 more than 2X faster. */
