 SBUs are only a rough guide.  They get less accurate when older
toolchains are involved (e.g. if your host had an older gcc minor
version than what was in the LFS version you built, your original
SBU will be small because each new version of gcc takes longer to
compile programs, so all your later LFS and BLFS SBUs will be
bigger.  Similarly, if you are building on an older version of LFS
your BLFS SBUs will ofteny be quicker.

 In this particular case, I suspect Mesa might have been measured
using LFS-7.0, not 7.1 (we don't normally update measurements when we
update a BLFS checked/built tag, unless things are clearly wrong).

 Also, that measurement is presumably for the limited set of gallium
drivers shown in the book's configure command.  Those of us not using
nvidia hardware will probably wish to enable other, or all, the
gallium drivers (or omit nouveau).

 In my case I build all the drivers on my current hardware (I've got
big disks now, I can afford the space and I'd like to know if any
of them fail to build because of an update elsewhere) so my own
figures will almost certainly not match what the book shows.
