This (ab)uses the integration tests to run a benchmark. This currently only
measures wibox drawing performance. To avoid wasting CPU-cycles, this does only
a quick run under travis while on "normal" runs the function under test is
executed in a loop to improve the precision of the measurement.
This benchmarks hopefully allow to optimize things in a clear fashion instead of
things like "it feels faster to me".
Results when run against the previous commit:
== Running test-benchmark.lua ==
create wibox: 0.0788958 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.103 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.019493 sec/iter ( 56 iters, 2.507 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.0160725 sec/iter ( 63 iters, 1.029 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.0015601 sec/iter (647 iters, 1.875 sec for benchmark)
W: awesome: a_glib_poll:291: Last main loop iteration took 6.593912 seconds! Increasing limit for this warning to that value.

About awesome
awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X.
Building and installation
After extracting the dist tarball, run:
make
This will create a build directory, run cmake in it and build awesome.
After building is finished, you can install:
make install # you might need root permissions
Running awesome
You can directly select awesome from your display manager. If not, you can
add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession to start awesome using your display manager:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua file, typically ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua.
An example configuration named awesomerc.lua.in is provided in the source.
Troubleshooting
On most systems any message printed by awesome (including warnings and errors)
is written to ~/.xsession-errors.
If awesome does not start or the configuration file is not producing the desired results the user should examine this file to gain insight into the problem.
