Replaced XSync with XFlush in drw_map to reduce blocking round-trips to the X server. This significantly improves performance during frequent redraws (e.g., status bar updates) by making the drawing non-blocking. XSync waits for the X server to process the request, which is unnecessary for simple drawing operations where order is guaranteed by the protocol. Added inline comment explaining the optimization.

💡 What: Replaced
XSync(drw->dpy, False)withXFlush(drw->dpy)indrw_map(drw.c).🎯 Why:
XSyncforces a round-trip to the X server, blocking the client until the server processes the request. This causes unnecessary latency during frequent drawing operations like status bar updates.XFlushsends the requests without waiting, which is sufficient because X11 guarantees request ordering.📊 Impact: Reduces client-side latency during redraws, making the UI feel more responsive.
