+*output* <name> max_render_time off|<msec>
+ When set to a positive number of milliseconds, enables delaying output
+ rendering to reduce latency. The rendering is delayed in such a way as
+ to leave the specified number of milliseconds before the next
+ presentation for rendering.
+
+ The output rendering normally takes place immediately after a
+ presentation (vblank, buffer flip, etc.) and the frame callbacks are
+ sent to surfaces immediately after the rendering to give surfaces the
+ most time to draw their next frame. This results in slightly below 2
+ frames of latency between the surface rendering and committing new
+ contents, and the contents being shown on screen, on average. When the
+ output rendering is delayed, the frame callbacks are sent immediately
+ after presentation, and the surfaces have a small timespan (1 /
+ (refresh rate) - max_render_time) to render and commit new contents to
+ be shown on the next presentation, resulting in below 1 frame of
+ latency.
+
+ To set this up for optimal latency:
+ . Launch some _full-screen_ application that renders continuously, like
+ *glxgears*.
+ . Start with *max_render_time 1*. Increment by *1* if you see frame
+ drops.
