GpuTest's Triangle OpenGL sample workload saw the largest performance improvement out of Mesa 9.2.0 with the Intel Haswell performance nearly doubling.

Mesa 9.2.0 will be on Ubuntu 13.10 for those not using the proprietary AMD/NVIDIA graphics drivers. Besides the OpenGL performance improvements there are a lot of other new features.
