even in the non-composite case, the server isn't doing a huge amount.

Its just doing the window contents copy mostly.

Though I do feel Daniel is being a mis leading, even if apps are rendering offscreen, a lot of them are using X render to do that rendering, so the server is still involved.

(granted X render can be slower than sw).

They'd be better off using Pixman locally than a mix of local rendering and Render. :)
