Hi,
I'm using an editor that runs on FreeBSD and OS X and uses Xft to draw
the text buffers. I got the impression that Xft drawing is
considerably slower on OS X. Actually, on a slow FreeBSD machine it's
not possible to see how the editor draws the text, while on a fast OS
X machine I can watch that closely. I don't know how to measure the
Xft performance exactly, so this is a bit wish-wash. However, since
there appears to be such a great difference I wonder if there might be
a technical reason for this. E. g. something like this: FreeBSD X11
uses hardware acceleration and OS x doesn't.
