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

Thanks for taking a look at the approach - actually it was just a
simple bug on my side ;)
Overall things look good now - I am able to reduce the number of
XPutImage requests depending on the workload by about 4-20x, with no
regressions running code which is not the target of the optimization.

So the tinkering I did with socket handoff 8-9 years ago now turns
into something useful after all :)

Thanks and best regards, Clemens
