The test in the article was pretty pointless. Gaming... seriously? Who is going to worry about gaming on software drivers? Even the crappiest machine capable of even running those games will have a GPU capable of doing better than that.
Here is a much more interesting test for the performance of this; try out DESKTOP COMPOSITING on something with a horrid crappy CPU, like... oh I don't know... an INTEL Z520!!!!
Things to measure: framerate, CPU load.

If you mean that one, it was added in 9.1-rc1. So the question is then, if this caused a regression for 9.1 and if 9.0 had faster llvmpipe speeds. Michael, 9.0 please
which was added right after a blit path for readpixels was added. However, that actually turns off blits for TexImage and GetTexImage as well, which i guess were on before. Possibly since 9.0 or 9.1?
I agree some regression testing here would be nice. Michael???
