Brain, I'm using osmesa with VTK and in this particular test I'm rendering just lines. The ratios stay the same for just triangles. Just for these simple primitives 7.11 seems to be about 4 times slower that 7.6.1.
Can you give me some pointers on where to get started with a new gallium based osmesa interface? I'd certainly like to make a stab at developing this capability. This is something that would be quite valuable for my purposes as well.
