If performance is what you're concerned about, I suggest you try using
x11perf, from Digital.  The latest version is available via anonymous
ftp on expo, and will also be included in R4.  It tests a great many
aspects of an X server.  We at MIT used it constantly to measure our
speedups while working on the R4 server.
