Sigh. What he's saying is simple.
Windows drags smoothly because it updates LESS FREQUENTLY with NO STUTTER. It spends more time per update, and therefore it is slower. However, the brain latches onto the stutter in XFree86, so you PERCIEVE its updates as taking more time.
Whether this is true or not I don't know; I haven't seen the benchmarks. But I have heard it before.
