After my recent discoveries about KMS, I've got a few questions about what KMS actually brings... I read some time ago that the performance drawbacks sometimes associated with EXA were related to the way EXA handles memory / migration. Am I correct ? Personally, until now I always experienced better performance with migrationheuristic=greedy, especially when switching windows/desktop in a non-composited environment. This either with an old Xpress 200M or with a new HD4650. Is KMS supposed to bring improvements about this ? For example by taking advantage of the kernel capabilities to handle memory ? Is it related to TTM or GEM ? What about the "unmappable" VRAM above 265M ? Is migrationheuristic=always now supposed to be the best performing setting ? Thanks in advance for the answers !
