No, it went the other way. The 3.0 GHz machine with
the Radeon 9000 was significantly slower than the
3.2GHz machine with the X600 with the acceleration
off. After turning on all of the features, the 3.0GHz
machine outperforms the 3.2GHz machine. This is the
reason I believe that we're seeing the effect of more
features being enabled for the X600. It's not a
dramatically faster card than the 9000 (especially in
terms of memory speed, which that article told us is
the critical factor for 2D performance), and the
PrintMusic file I tested has a ton of material on the
page that would make any extra work being performed on
a particular object be performed a great number of
times.
