You could try x11perf, a stopwatch, etc., etc.
More interestingly might be running tcpdump on an adjacent machine
(make sure to reboot between tests).
Certainly x11perf(1) might be a place to start.
All in all, it probably doesn't matter much at all since your X server
is almost always in-core or cached or swapped.
