I'm not quite clear on what you mean. The CPU certainly has to tell the GPU where to draw the textures, but that's not a significant amount of work.

I was thinking about dropping this, since I doubt this can be interesting to anyone else other than myself, but, since I answered to another comment, here I am again. What I meant is that probably there is some other work done in the background by the gnome-shell which takes too much cpu time, not directly related to the simple act of just drawing textures.

Could be. We have a shell performance stats website at http://shell-perf.gnome.org/home. I guess we should check how it behaves with 100+ windows. Of course in a benchmark 100+ windows might be a few ms slower, but it should not be noticeable for a user (which is a 30% slowdown from what I heard).
