16-Way Linux OS Performance Comparison

There isn't too much to see when comparing the Linux distributions just on the Radeon Gallium3D driver.

There you have it, our 16-way Linux/BSD performance comparison. While there were 14 Linux distributions (and two BSDs) tested, there wasn't a whole lot in the way of exciting performance changes. Mageia 3 continues to be the outlier in terms of generally being the slowest distribution while the other Linux distributions tended to perform close to the same speed with few exceptions, at least from this Core i7 3960X EE system.
