There has been a lot of refactoring/rewriting going on in the intel-driver over the past half year or so. So previously well tuned code (or at least heavily quirk-fixed to provide acceptable speed) was rewritten and re-designed and that needs some time. I also ran some benchmarks, and compared to earlier releases I see halfed throughput for some cases. > It's nice to see/read developers experimenting with new acceleration > architectures and all, but if there is no net gain over XAA, what is it worth > anyway? If the driver is broken, why do you blame the accaleration architecture ;) XAA is mostly software-only, so if the driver is slow it doesn't hurt a lot - most rendering especially to pixmaps is done by the CPU anyway. - Clemens _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
