</div>clfswm may not be the fastest WM I have seen but my experience is nowhere like<br>
Michaël's and I have "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz" as cpu. This may<br>
be related to your graphics card, I use a GeForce GT 440 with the proprietary<br>
drivers.<br>
<br>
For a problem not directly related to clfswm (tearing in videos or in games), I<br>
tried using compton, a composition manager and it really slowed it down but I<br>
don't know if it is clfswm's fault or just a bag compton's configuration.<br>
<br>
I use sbcl and quicklisp's version of clx and git (not the latest but close<br>
enough: 2ee0a21) version of clfswm.<br>

</div>Michaël, what focus-policy do you use? I sometimes have focus problems with the<br>
:sloppy-select-window focus-policy and wanted to investigate a bit myself before<br>
reporting it here but I still haven't taken the time...<br>
<br>
Apart from that, I don't have much problem using clfswm as my main WM.<br>
