x11perfcomp
Compare X server composite extension performance
SYNOPSIS
x11perfcomp [-options]
PARAMETERS
-help
Display a brief help message and exit.
-all
Run all available tests.
-tests
Specify a comma-separated list of tests to run. Refer to x11perf documentation for test names.
-server
Specify the X server to connect to (e.g., :0).
-reps
Specify the number of repetitions for each test.
-sizes
Specify a comma-separated list of sizes for drawing tests.
DESCRIPTION
x11perfcomp is a command-line utility designed for benchmarking and comparing the performance of X11 servers across different hardware and configurations.
It functions by executing a series of graphical operations and measuring the time taken for each operation. These operations include drawing lines, rectangles, text, and performing image manipulation.
The results can then be used to identify performance bottlenecks, optimize X server settings, and compare the performance of different X server implementations (e.g., X.Org, XFree86). The command outputs the benchmark times in a formatted report that can be used for comparison and analysis. This tool is useful for system administrators, developers, and anyone interested in optimizing X11 performance.
x11perfcomp is a simplified version of x11perf and produces a combined report. For more comprehensive details and tests use x11perf.
CAVEATS
The reliability of results depends on system configuration and background processes running at the time of execution. Run multiple times for best results.
UNDERSTANDING OUTPUT
The output of x11perfcomp typically consists of test names and corresponding timings. Lower timings indicate better performance. Compare the results across different configurations or hardware to identify bottlenecks and performance differences.
