✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the render_bench manual page πŸ’– (that's the RENDER_BENCH(1) situation, from the General Commands Manual section, iykyk). here's the whole thing:

render_bench β€” benchmark the XRender extension πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

no flags, no options, no little arguments to memorize. it's just:

render_bench

that's it. that's the whole vibe. run it and go πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so render_bench is this program that runs a whole series of tests to benchmark the XRender X11 extension. like, it's putting XRender through its paces, one test at a time, to see how it's performing ✨

and because comparing things in a vacuum is giving absolutely nothing, it also runs those exact same tests using the Imlib2 library 🫢 so you get a baseline β€” a point of reference β€” for comparing performance between the two. it's giving very "who wore it better" but for rendering, no cap 😭
