XCompositeNameWindowPixmap vs using window directly

I am writing a window switcher application using GTK, Cairo, and Xlib that shows previews of windows.

Assuming that I don't want to save the window's image for later use, what are the advantages of using XCompositeNameWindowPixmap () compared to simply using the X11 Window directly?

Regards
