Boo. No clue.
As it's typically just fast enough...
Maybe i can benchmark indirectly, glxgears with and with out xgl and the
same with games and other graphics benchmarks.
Also as the code is pretty new, currently profiling would be more
important than benchmarking.

Factory. The code is changing too fast.
The problem there is that factory is fine with XGL reviews, but part of the
review is the stability of the system, i haven't install factory so I'm not
really sure how stable is it.
The review is not XGL specific, but a way to have a vga map in linux, we
already have that for windows and every body know nvidia have better
performance in Linux, but how much better ??
This benchmark is going to take more than a month, whats versions of

Hm. Probably take the latest possible. Though David might want to
comment on that.
I'm not exactly sure whether benchmarking is already usefull at the
current state, but it could be a good possibility to confirm my opinion
that NVidia cards look better ;)
Yeah, nvidia looks better :) I just hope the new owner give a little more
pushing to linux in ATI.
