It is a modest performance improvement (2.7% on Intel), with the significant downside that it keeps extra pixmap contents laying around for 1000 BlockHandlers without the ability for the system to purge them when under memory pressure, and tiled renderers don't know that we could avoid reading their current contents when beginning to render again. We could use the FB invalidate functions, but they aren't always available, aren't hooked up well in Mesa, and would eat into the performance gains of having the cache.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
