As I also post on their notice board:
For q3, the bulk of processing can be done inside the part of mesa which is
device specific. This is the case with the current FX driver, but not with any
other driver.
The point is that this task is fairly specific to the hardware used to measure
performance, and should be specified as such. Thus 'Improve q3 by 10% on 3dfx
voodoo-2' is quite different to the same task on Matrox g200.
There is still some shared code - state management and so forth - and a very
talented individual might squeeze 10% overall out of that.
