Hello list, Two days ago I had to upgrade xorg (long story). Since then, it seems that text entry is laggy, as if the xterm - or any application, for that matter - can't keep up with my typing. It feels like the old days of typing on an ASR-33; there is a lag of less than one second between typing a character and it appearing on screen. Sometimes when text draws, I see a moment of raster-looking junk. This is especially visible in text that updates from a program, such as the in-progress statistics from fetch. Or even when pasting text via middle-click. Or even when moving the cursor with the arrow keys while writing this email. Is this just an example of new software being more more bloated? It seems to me that under the old regime things were snappy-quick. Before: xorg-7.7_1 After: xorg-7.7_3 Both: fvwm-2.6.5_7 Both: $ uname -mriKv 10.3-RELEASE-p11 FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p11 #0: Mon Oct 24 18:49:24 UTC 2016 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 GENERIC 1003000 Thank you. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging </> ]
