Been doing some benchmarking with glxgears ( I know it’s a no no). Trying to lower the CPU usage of xorg which currently it at up to around 30% at some times just updating $top. I’m starting with :
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.7.1-0ubuntu1~xup~1
Running on an unmaximized window.
pizzaman@monsterxx8:~$ glxgears

717 frames in 5.0 seconds = 143.342 FPS
853 frames in 5.0 seconds = 169.600 FPS
Will see if I can get out any improvements.
