1. What about the Xfce-gtk-engine?

4. Nodoka is almost murrine engine with a different name (Nodoka), its performance are nearly the same.
   If you chose a Murrine theme with rounded borders, you’ll see it.

   By the way, the problem is not on +1second, -1second etc etc… the thing is that Aurora, for example, is exactly twice slower than murrine with small roudness :)
   This will be noticeable when using many windows.

5. Talking about nodoka… i added it to the test because it is part of Fedora… I wanted to give a general purpose to the test…
   However… We all know Murrine is a great engine… It combines beauty and speed together :)…
   Aurora is handsome to see… but it has to do more if it wants to be a very usable engine… especially on old machines

11. Here’s some more. http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk_engines/

    You got most of them, but I think you’re missing eXperience-engine, and gtk-industrial-engine. There may be others.

13. this is an interesting benchmark, however when it comes to gtk-engines I’m all about stability. I have seen so many engines causing crashes of applications in weird spots. In many cases these engines use cairo_* function calls, where as engines with native gtk calls like xfce seem to be less error prone. I don’t blame it on the engine entirely, in many cases that might be caused by some intercation of libraries. So I’m surprised to see that xfce engine is actually that fast because it is also very very stable! I say that out of the experience of closing bugs in ArchLinux with: “Use another gtk engine and you’ll be fine.”

14. No wonder why the Xfce Engines yield all the same results; (a nanosecond here and there is in the area of statistical error) They are different colour schemes for the same engine (gtk-xfce-engine).

    So you could just leave all but one out and spare a whole page from the article :)

15. (Whoops… I was looking at the tests visible on the window, and not the total time)
    Interesting how different colours & sprites affect performance.

    Can you please add charts for each individual test?
    Or just a csv file with the data would do, too.

    Regards

    Hi,
    Excuse me I didn’t understood what you want to say…
    What do I have to add to the chart to every individual engine test?

20. How about testing QtCurve for GTK? I’ve found this engine to be extremely fast, on par with Simple and Mist!

23. Why not 1) sort the graph by time (it doesn’t seem to be sorted at all right now) and 2) label each bar with number of seconds? I’m not sure what software you’re using, but it ought to be feasible.

24. Hi gianvito,

    you should test the Bluecurve engine. Fastest on my system (Q9450).

25. You should do the following test: modify the Nodoka engine, find the definition (‘engine “nodoka”‘) and replace it with something like this:

    engine “nodoka”
    {
    animation = FALSE
    contrast = 1.0
    gradients = FALSE
    listviewheaderstyle = 0
    listviewstyle = 1
    menubarstyle = 0
    roundness = 0
    scrollbarstyle = 2
    stripes = FALSE
    }

    I get 5.3 sec. after the modifications (removing gradients and setting the roundness of the buttons to 0 (none)), 10.8 before.

    The roundness of the buttons is the key performance factor in this tests.

30. Have you just ran the perf program once per theme? It would be interesting to run it 100s of times, perhaps at different warm points in operation, with swap and caches cleared, etc. and take averages.
