I've spent most of today's computing time trying to work out what was causing the llvm problem with sw rasterization - turned out that this build of Mesa-10.2.whichever did not have some fixes for llvm-3.5. Now, I've tried Glamor - on the plus side, no 'red' in icewm's CPU window. But on the negative, Xorg.bin CPU% remained at around 52% - not the initial high value, but not dropping down later, CPU frequencies remained quite high / full power, and alt-tabbing between windows, or autorepeat on e.g. cursor when typing, was very slow.
I'll see if I can get any useful profile information, but if not, thanks anyway. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
