Well, what I see on the N900 is that it might be hard or
outright impossible to do flicker-free rotation effect, which might be
desirable -- the current effect in mcompositor looks quite good :).

I do not know if the delay and spike in cpu as seen on the N900
while switching (under Maemo) is caused by the underlying fbdev,
Xorg, or the combined cpu usage of all applications being notified
of a geometry change.

Actual rotation of the framebuffer data is done way faster by
omapfb than with GLES.
