Having SNAppy Intel 2D Acceleration In 2012
When switching to the new cairo-perf-trace test, the SNA back-end does very well with the Firefox canvas trace replay where for ILK and SNA hardware the boosts were extremely noticeable.
With Sandy Bridge hardware on the SNA back-end and running a GNOME Terminal Vim Cairo trace, the new back-end is more than 10x faster than the default!
Replaying Poppler's Cairo operations under SNA was also a remarkable win.
