Hi,
how big is the difference in perforamnce between VectorButtons and Pixmaps?
I am unsure if i sholud use Vecotrbuttons or not, because i like slim desktops without “sugar”, but my Pixmap-Buttons look to sweet 
There is an app by Rasterman called wm-torture for benchmarking the performance of window-creation, iirc.
Please let me know the results, i’m interested too.
Pixmaps inherently use more memory, due to the way they’re stored by the XServer.

Hi,
here my results
Test | Throughput | Response
With VectorButtons | min 0.0048 max 0.00152 avg 0.0097 | 113.50
With PixmapButtons | min 0.0041 max 0.0142 avg 0.0101 | 116.32
The Response test results are not very good because the results differ alot, and the wm seems to crash everytime, so i could not build average values.
All in all it seems that Pixmaps are nearly as good as vectorbuttons.
In fact i think, as thomas said, the main difference is in memory usage.
Meow,
