A closed source driver should never hold back an OSS package. So what's

I agree. If it's really that driver holding xorg back it should just be
moved. Nvidia doesn't tellanybody when they plan new releases or fix a
bug. Last but not least I didn't notice any slowdown and there is also
no report in our tracker about this. So it cannot be that critical.
i can't agree with you. every time somebody reported an issue with
nvidia, being even a performance regression, you personally closed it as
"we can't do anything"
i'm hit with this issue and i know a dozen. this regression makes
rendering antialised fonts in gtk 10 times slower and in kde when using
non-antialiased fonts [1]
we have to think about our users first. your statistics say that nvidia
is dominant in our community[2]
