This discussion actually reminds of something I have been meaning to report for quite a while. I have a desktop system with a low end radeon card, and a laptop with integrated intel card. On both systems I'm using software engine for composite, because it's significantly faster than GL, however

Composite would be decently fast for a while, but gradually get very slow after a couple of hours. The slow-down could be hastened if I dared to run any video via vdpau, or restart e. e
