Phoronix: "This surprised many so we published another article entitled The Cost Of Running Compiz where we showed the performance penalties of a compositing window manager with different hardware and drivers. This led some to ask whether the performance of KWin also causes the OpenGL frame-rate to drop, so here are those KDE benchmarks."
Phoronix: "...for those impatient ones today we have published an extensive set of tests comparing the performance of Mac OS X 10.6.2 against a development build of Ubuntu 10.04. This is our first time exploring how Canonical's Lucid Lynx can compete with Apple's Snow Leopard."
Mutter, a window and compositing manager that displays and manages your desktop via OpenGL, has reached version 3.6.1.
Owen Taylor has announced that Mutter 3.6.1 was released and repaired a few problems and updated a couple of features.
Highlights of Mutter 3.6.1:
· A crash that occurred when opening large popup menu has been repaired;
· User can now move the desktop window after

Hi!
Is it possible to create a window (with GTK+, GDK, or by using OpenGL, or Clutter) that stays on the top of all the other windows, even over a full-screened window?
I want to create a small window that remains visible when I enter the full-screen mode of a video player (VLC for example).
Here’s a quick round-up of interesting goings-on in the Metacity and Mutter worlds this week.
Phoronix: "Over the weekend we decided to benchmark this major update to the GNU Compiler Collection to see how its performance compares to that of GCC 4.3 and 4.4."
Sun virtualBox one of the best virtualization applications you can use to run multiple operating system in the same time, but it need some dependencies to get better performance in your operating...

Phoronix: "There were only a few areas where the two Linux distributions actually performed differently with many of their core packages being similar, but one of the areas where the results were vastly different was with the OpenGL performance as Ubuntu uses Compiz by default..."
