Good. Perhaps we can work on something that is good for both trees. 

Note I'm not at all objecting to getting rid of the collapsing of the 
individual dirtyrects into a big boundary dirty rect. This is hitting us bad 
as well, and a solution is needed. However, when there are complex regions 
(regions are assembled as unions of rects in X11), stuff slows down 
drastically, as it all boils down to array operations (elements being the 
individual rects of the region). the boundary rectangle implementation is not 
something we put big design thoughts in. Its a hack, and it served the 
purpose so far. 

You were saying that Panther does this simplification of complex dirty regions 
already for you? Or did I misunderstand something?
