[Xcb] Is there any way to intercept or generate protocol to an in-memory buffer?

[Bart Massey]

The overhead of doing separate XShmPutImages should be minimal. If you're
seeing performance issues from that, you might be using the XCB Image
library: you probably should look there for optimizations: I know that
little care went into trying to make it fast back when it was written.
