While following the lists does get you the same info, the volume is rather huge. I appreciate how Michael filters the important bits for us.

I somehow had the idea the open source drivers would be CPU limited. No multithreading with catalyst too, load < 25% for a 4 core CPU? I asume 100% is full CPU utilisation. Would be great if one of the driver developers could comment on this.
To the Phoronix and Michael critics: Stop derailing the thread! Want to whine about it? Get you a fscking blog!
I expect the higher CPU usage with Catalyst is mostly due to just pushing a lot more data to the GPU because of the higher performance, but it's also possible that it does more work optimizing everything in the driver and that ends up costing it more than the simpler OSS driver.
