- On modern machines, OpenGL will always run faster than Xlib. It's
also more portable. Consider writing in OpenGL whenever possible.
+ - Free any memory you allocate. While screen savers under X11 have
+ their memory freed automatically when their process is killed by
+ the XScreenSaver daemon, under iOS and Android screen savers exist
+ in long-lived processes where no such cleanup takes place.
+ Consider Valgrind or gcc -fsanitize=leak to find memory leaks.
