<i>I used Classic theme in Windows because, as I pointed out earlier, Aero’s compositing increases drawing latency and enforces V-Sync.</i><p>This is an interesting datapoint in the argument between those who prefer the classic theme and those who use Aero, with proponents on both sides saying &quot;it&#x27;s faster&quot;. Perhaps compositing has higher throughput, but non-composited has lower latency. I personally use classic because it does feel more responsive. That extra ~15ms is definitely perceptible.<p>Another thing I&#x27;ve noticed is that when input latency is high, such as using SSH, I tend to keep typing ahead instead of waiting.
