Those are simply rumors. People saying so have never used a tiling
window manager, how could they determine the faster way to manage
windows? Those GPU-accelerated softwares are better than others, if
you want beautiful corners, transparency, fire effects and other
useless ( well, those can be useful if you need to sell some crap to
someone else, or to prove that your favorite distro is far more
advanced in eye-candy stuff than windows ) stuff, but for real use,
do you need those "features" ?
