What counts imho: is the GUI slugish, is it drawn with less than 60 fps?
Somebody knows if GtkPerf can be any indicator to that?
Thats the reason I only benchmark cairo-perf-trace on a Netbook thats good only for browsing anyway, complex Opengl Benchs would be a waste anyway, 9 fps vs 4 fps is great, but still nothing worth in real life. Imho same with GtkPerf - just try if your GUI feels good/snappy.

OpenBenchmarking.org, Phoronix Test Suite, Linux benchmarking, automated benchmarking, benchmarking results, benchmarking repository, open source benchmarking, benchmarking test profiles
(334 seconds down to 118 seconds)
FYI, Compositing on was Mesa 9.0, Compositing off (not shown) was identical, all on XFCE.

Purging the x-swat ppa and only then activating ppa:glasen/intel-driver did the trick!
It comes with Mesa 9.0.3 and intel 2.21.3, X-swat had Mesa 9.0 and intel 2.19.
SNA is active (already had the needed entry in xorg.conf), doing some cairo-perf-trace benchmarks now...

Current driver does not support SNA, this is on old 945GME Netbook, so every bit helps...

A bit more performance for cairo with sna would be nice.

Haha Michael are you sure you tested the same CPU? Joking aside, these are awesome results.
