 new X extensions such as composite, damage and fixes. Some brokenness should be
 expected.
 
-Somewhat surprisingly, the better the video card you have, the worse
-performance you should expect. The technical reason for this is that
-better video cards usually have more frame-buffer memory, so more
-windows will end up being put in the framebuffer.  This casues
-software rendering to slow down because reading from the framebuffer
-is really slow.

-To get reasonable performance, try adding
-
-	Option "NoAccel"
-
-to the "Device" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. This will
-likely improve performance a lot when a compositing manager is
-running, but also hurt performance a lot when no compositing manager
-is running.

-Besides the drop-shadows which were lifted from Keith Packard's
-xcompmgr, you should also see gtk+ (> 2.6) applications applications
-resize a lot more smoothly.  If someone adds support for the
-_NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST protocol to Qt, you should see Qt applications
-resize smoothly too.
+To actually use this branch of metacity, you need to patch your X server with
