+.BI "Option \*qTripleBuffer\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+This option enables the use of a third buffer for page-flipping. The third
+buffer allows applications to run at vrefresh rates even if they occasionally
+fail to swapbuffers on time. The effect of such missed swaps is the output
+jitters between 60fps and 30fps, and in the worst case appears frame-locked
+to 30fps. The disadvantage of triple buffering is that there is an extra
+frame of latency, due to the pre-rendered frame sitting in the swap queue,
+between input and any display update.

This option controls whether memory buffers for Pixmaps are allocated in tiled mode. In
