When switching to/from a "noBorders Full" window containing urxvt with transparency, it takes almost 2 seconds for the screen to redraw.
The screen redraw is almost instantanous with urxvt plain background and/or normal (with borders) "Full" window.
Can't remember when i first noticed this... some weeks ago (maybe when i started using noBorders ? :)
I also noticed such behaviour, which seems related to
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=135 ; the redraw time
seems to be the time needed for resizing the window N pixels, N being
the borders size. It seems to me that :
- when leaving a noBorders workspace, the (previously hidden) border
is first added to the current window, which triggers a window
resize and thus a window redraw
- when switching to a noBorders workspace, the border is first
displayed, then removed, which also triggers a window
resize/redraw
By the way, using smartBorders triggers a very similar issue.
Such a window resize/redraw is really slow with some Xorg drivers,
such as the nv one, especially with big screens and full screen
terminals. I’ve had to stop using noBorders and smartBorders because
of this bug.
