πŸ’‘ What: Replaced XSync(drw->dpy, False) with XFlush(drw->dpy) in drw_map.
🎯 Why: XSync forces a blocking round-trip to the X server, causing latency in the main thread during every draw operation. This is unnecessary for simple drawing commands where we don't need to read back data or handle errors immediately.
πŸ“Š Impact: Eliminates round-trip latency for all bar updates and window redraws handled by drw. This improves the perceived responsiveness of the window manager, especially during high-frequency updates.
πŸ”¬ Measurement: Verified by make clean && make to ensure correct compilation. Theoretical performance gain is 1 RTT (Round Trip Time) per draw call.

Replaced the blocking `XSync` call with `XFlush` in `drw_map`. This
eliminates unnecessary round-trips to the X server during drawing
operations, significantly reducing latency and improving responsiveness
for frequent UI updates (like status bar refreshes and window redrawing).

`XFlush` is sufficient here as it pushes the `XCopyArea` request to the
server without waiting for a reply, which is safe since we do not need
immediate feedback from the server for this operation.
