I noticed that a non-trivial amount of dwm's work on my machine was from
drw_text, which seemed weird, because I have the bar disabled and we
only use drw_text as part of bar drawing.
Looking more closely, I realised that while we use m->showbar when
updating the monitor bar margins, but don't skip actually drawing the
bar if it is hidden. This patch skips drawing it entirely if that is the
case.
On my machine, this takes 10% of dwm's on-CPU time, primarily from
restack() and focus().
When the bar is toggled on again, the X server will generate an Expose
event, and we'll redraw the bar as normal as part of expose().
This reverts commit 716233534b.
It causes issues with truncation of characters when the text does not fit and
so on. The patch should be reworked and properly tested.
Calculates len & ew in drw_font_getexts loop by incrementing instead of
decrementing; as such avoids proportional increase in time spent in loop
based on provided strings size.
-Making a Workaround patch for WebStorm:
do not care about property notification saying that a second window is transient to the first webstorm window

It generally doesn't make much sense to allow focusstack() to navigate
away from the selected fullscreen client, as you can't even see which
client you're selecting behind it.
I have had this up for a while on the wiki as a separate patch[0], but
it seems reasonable to avoid this behaviour in dwm mainline, since I'm
struggling to think of any reason to navigate away from a fullscreen
client other than a mistake.
