Apologies if this is a derail, but how does DirectComposition compare to IDXGISwapChain1::Present1 for high performance scrolling and things like blinking a cursor with minimal energy usage? I was looking at the latter for the Windows port of xi-editor, and unaware of the former. I'm less concerned with fancy graphics effects, but perhaps if they're available at low cost I would consider using them.

I'm also looking to optimize smoothness on window resize, which I've noticed to be pretty janky in many applications.
