As I do have only a few minutes now, a few comments: 1: The complete trees are compared, all modules/libraries are either old or new. No debug-versions. 2: Speculating about cores is definitely wrong -- the Pentium M Dothan definitely is a single core cpu. 3. There often is a "choked most" (1)

Yes, I made some mistakes during my first measurements. Below find better results. They are made on the same machine, with the same kernel, at the same speed, with the same x11perf program, absolutely nothing changed. I used x11perfcomp -ro and sorted the output, worst results for the currrent gi

As a point of comparison, here are the similar results with master of all the various trees on my 1.6GHz N450 (Atom+PineView) [so not strictly an apples-to-apples comparison, your CPU is about 4-5x faster, but PNV is about 3-4x faster than the 915GM (clock-for-clock)]: On Sun, 08 May 2011 20:22:21

I compared the performance of X11 on two otherwise idle machines. Hardware Both have identical mainboards (Aopen i915GMm-hfs), identical memory and BIOS setup. Both cpus are Intel Pentium M mobile (Dothan). One runs at 1.86 Mhz, the other runs at 2.00 MHz Software === 1.86 MHz system
