Nice to see panfrost advancing, now lets hope for OpenGL ES 3.2

I tested Lima driver some 1 month ago, with a Mali 400 MP2, and it delivered max ~330 fps on glxgears( without vblank of course..).
I was even able to play supertuxkart, not all tracks( as the game advise to use OpenGL ES 3.1 or 3.2..),
But I was able to play some tracks at ~21fps in a dual core cortex-A7..
it was fun!!

Cool, so WebRender will eventually work on Panfrost too.

I'm a Pinebook Pro (Manjaro Plasma) user, what improvements should I expect to see with this? Will it improve desktop apps or is it only related to full screen 3d apps?
