I would perhaps suggest that we should perhaps drop XShm support (or at least add a registry key for it and disable it perhaps on 'modern drivers'). What do you guys think?
Could you do some benchmarking? You can disable XShm support by passing "--without-xshm" to configure.
It would be useful if some people using Nvidia, intel or EXA based drivers could compare the results of the test app attached to this mail with and without XShm. A test on ATI fglrx is not useful at this point because it doesn't use an EXA-like architecture yet and they don't accelerate XRender in hardware yet.
Thanks, Roderick
