Hmm, this is interesting... Have you profiled with some other programs? My concern is that this might make a particular game faster, but other games slower.
If it's making everything faster, then we're probably doing something inefficient and that code can be killed. I would also be interested to see how we translate the fragment program before and after applying this patch, and how fglrx translates it.
