Thanks. :-)

The batch of changes before this one had a few performance fixes that at
least helped x11perf on Xlib/XCB. The NoOperation test, which is the
worst case for x11perf, went from 7% as fast as stock Xlib up to 20% as
fast. I don't know if pure-XCB apps gained anything from that work,
though. If you have particular benchmarks you care about you might try
running them again.

I've been doing a better job of using Bugzilla over the last few weeks,
especially since daniels fixed it for me. :-) The bugs in the XCB
product currently reflect most of the issues I know about.

I would like to see the diff first, yes, but I would like to get your
work committed.

Could you also do me a favor and recast your visibility patch, and any
others I haven't committed, against the current code? There have been
cleanups in configure.ac and all over that may make your patches
cleaner.
