So this introduces a 10% (205 to 185 fps on an i7-3720qm @10x7) performance regression on good old CPU bound padman, but one large win with alpha compositing the same texture over and over again (fishtank 7.8s to 6.8s). Oh well, there's plenty of overhead in mesa to recover -- reading the profiles it is rate limited by the cpu overhead in i965_dri.so. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
