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

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

I'm not sure what software you're using, but it ought to be feasible. 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?

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?

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?

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." this is an interesting benchmark, however when it comes to gtk-engines I’m all about stability.

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.
