Weird performance issues with firefox #10

Closed ibabushkin closed 8 years ago

For some reason, firefox' reaction time is vastly worse compared to other environments and applications. Reaction time and graphical update are significantly slower for some reason.

Reproducible with dwm, but not inside Xephyr. Some investigation of the requests firefox sends us should be done.

Seems to be caused by missing reparenting, but couldn't be fixed with a trivial implementation.

Currently impossible to reproduce on debug binaries, testing on release - no issues. Closing now.
