IIRC libxcb corrects alot of the problems which people have with slow redrawing; its just a matter of getting GTK and Qt to move accross to it - and for LibXll to finally get killed off :-)

Edit: yes, I know that LibX11 is now just a wrapper over libxcb, but there is a performance penalty for that convinence of not breaking compatibility.
