Indeed, your config doesn't look like your using anything decoration-related.
The part that confuses me in this case about the poor performance you are
observing is that, once I remove decoration from my windows, I didn't notice any
substantial delays in focus update.  Admittedly, I tested only with at most 10
windows per screen, I think.  When (and if) I get a chance, I will try without
decoration and tons of windows once more, and I may give your configuration a
spin.
