Yes, you have to have an X server which fully accelerates the Composite
extension and ARGB visuals. Only a very few X servers can do this, the
X.org default server not being one of those. With this in place, the
magnifier can update the screen plenty fast.

So, my question is, what X server fully accelerates the Composite 
extension and ARGB visual?

Thanks,
Carlos.
