*    i5-6200u
*    8GB RAM
*    1600x1200 external display

*also tested on 1920x1080 eDP display.*

MATE Tweak shows the following list of compositors:

- Marco, No compositor
- Marco, Software Compositor
- Marco, Compton GPU Compositor
- Compiz

Which of these gives the best performance in games, if there's any difference?
