The smart scheduler is designed to minimize scheduler overhead by
increasing the interval between WaitForSomething calls when a single
client is running. However, the software rotation code depends on
its BlockHandler being invoked for screen updates; the long delays
caused by the smart scheduler optimizations means that screen updates
can be delayed a long time as well.
The change is simple -- prevent the smart scheduler from increasing
the scheduling interval while any screen is using software rotation.

dixLookupResource attempted to automatically detect whether the caller
wanted a lookup by-type or by-class, unfortunately, it guessed wrong for
RT_NONE. Instead of trying to make the guess better, this patch just reverts
the unification and creates separate functions for each operation.

Really, this was a bad idea. It's not security, the UI features that would
have been cool (e.g. clicking through windows) aren't implemented anyway, and
there's nothing you can't achieve just by using plain XI anyway.

Subject: [PATCH] fix some performance gaps in Xace
The XaceHook function is used in several hotpaths.
The problem with it (performance wise) is twofold:
* The XaceHook function has a big switch() statement for the hook number in it
* The XaceHook function uses varargs to reassemble the final dispatch arguments again
Both are expensive operations... for something that is known at compile time
This patch turns the hotpath XaceHook call into a direct call to avoid
the switch and varargs; this gives me over 10% performance gain
on the x11perf benchmark.
These hints allow an acceleration architecture to optimize allocation of certain
types of pixmaps, such as pixmaps that will serve as backing pixmaps for
redirected windows.
the hook - the hook only needs the Atom to control access to the selection
object. Upgraded the SelectionCallback to take a client argument and
additional type codes so that it can be used for redirection.
over to new system.
Need to update documentation and address some remaining vestiges of
old system such as CursorRec structure, fb "offman" structure, and
FontRec privates.
