[Bug 88815] Re: Sluggish rendering since xorg 7.2 update

[Conn]

disturbedsaint,

Thanks, let me address your points:
1. That's right, nvidia-glx is installed on my system and so the nv driver can't initialize GLX.
2. Ditto, see above.
3. This may be a symptom of the above too, so I don't know.

In light of this, I'm running the benchmarks again, this time using the
herd 5 livecd instead, and have copied xorg.conf from herd 4. I checked
the resulting logs and libvm86.so is still being loaded; it's because of
the new xorg build, I believe. I ran a quick test, "x11perf -umove" -
here's the results (herd 4 livecd vs herd 5 livecd):

514000.0   186000.0 (  0.36)   Moved unmapped window (4 kids) 
503000.0   185000.0 (  0.37)   Moved unmapped window (16 kids) 
496000.0   184000.0 (  0.37)   Moved unmapped window (25 kids) 
485000.0   184000.0 (  0.38)   Moved unmapped window (50 kids) 
472000.0   182000.0 (  0.39)   Moved unmapped window (75 kids) 
465000.0   181000.0 (  0.39)   Moved unmapped window (100 kids) 
452000.0   175000.0 (  0.39)   Moved unmapped window (200 kids) 

As you can see, these results reflect my initial benchmarks on my
installed herd 5 system. I'm running the full set right now to be sure,
and if anything significantly changes I'll post them here.
