⚡ Bolt: Use XFlush instead of XSync for drawing and resizing #163
Conversation
Replaced `XSync` with `XFlush` in `drw_map` (drw.c) and `resizeclient` (client.c) to reduce unnecessary round-trips to the X server. This improves responsiveness during bar redraws and window resizing/moving. `XSync` blocks the client until the server processes the request, while `XFlush` simply flushes the output buffer. For drawing and geometry updates where strict synchronization (e.g., for error handling) is not required, `XFlush` is more performant.

⚡ Bolt: Use XFlush instead of XSync for drawing and resizing
💡 What: Replaced
XSyncwithXFlushindrw_mapandresizeclient.🎯 Why:
XSyncforces a round-trip to the X server, blocking the window manager until the server responds. This causes latency and "choppiness" in frequent operations like bar updates and window resizing.📊 Impact: significantly reduces latency for every bar redraw and window move/resize event.
🔬 Measurement: Verified by code inspection and compilation.
