At least, turning EnableAGPDMA off is probably not what you want speed wise. Was there a reason you added that option ? MigrationHeuristic is related to EXA, but you're asking for XAA 2 lines above. And anyway, XAA has been removed starting with 0.3.0, so you have the choice between EXA and no acceleration.
