Description of problem: All applications which render a lot of trapezoids are quite slow when using UXA+KMS. I guess this is caused by the fix for bug 490839. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.29.3-140.fc11.i586 intel 2.7.0-4 xorg 1.6.1 How reproducible: Always. Some applications suffer less, some a lot (OpenOffice 3.1, FireFox for some pages). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open an openoffice(3.1)-document 1.2. Move e.g. a chart arround 2. Open a trapezoid-heavy page in firefox. Actual results: Very slow rendering of trapezoids, profilers show almost all time spent in pixman_rasterize_edges. Because the amount of trapezoids is the same for EXA/XAA/UXA the only conclusion I can make is that memory access is uncached and therefor slowing that code down. Expected results: At least as fast as EXA Additional info: Intel-945GM I reported this bug already upstream, however I am not sure its really their fault: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21376

I did some firefox performance measurements using Trender. XAA/EXA was on Fedora8 with intel-2.2.1 UXA was on Fedora 10 with KMS The steady slowdown is concerning :-/

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This is an intel-bug, caused by rendering trapezoid to pixmaps instead of system memory. Should be fixed in 2.8 (pre releases).
