Summary:
EffectWindow proxies its properties from the client/deleted's
properties.
QObject::property(char*) is a slow string search. It's a loop
of string comparisons not a hash lookup!
QML's use of properties is different, there's a property cache.
It's fetched multiple times for every window in every paint of some
effects (such as blur). Hotspot shows this as a significant amount of
the render pass (X11) with nothing in kwin animating.
This patch replaces the macro that does
parent()->property("propertyName")
with a macro calling the relevant function directly without metaobjects.
This also improves type safety for future changes.
