[ltp] neomagic is 6x slower in Edgy Eft than in Gentoo

[Damien Challet]

Hi All,
 
I am currently using Gentoo on my TP600E. I would love to switch to Edgy Eft 
but the graphical performance is not acceptable. Under Gentoo, I enjoy good 
graphical performance (full window moving is fine). On the other hand, Edgy 
Eft (xubuntu) is _very_ slow. Here is the beginning of the benchmarks:
 
 $ x11perfcomp x11perf-gentoo.txt x11perf-ubuntu.txt
 
 1: x11perf-gentoo.txt
 2: x11perf-ubuntu.txt
 
 1 2 Operation
 -------- -------- ---------
 5470000.0 4650000.0 Dot
 892000.0 1520000.0 1x1 rectangle
 385000.0 219000.0 10x10 rectangle
 29000.0 5710.0 100x100 rectangle
 1830.0 331.0 500x500 rectangle
 
 16 bit modes in both cases.
 
 I have even recompiled xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-video-neomagic for 
pentiumIII (there is one in my laptop) and without the -g flag, but with no 
great difference.
 
 Could anyone shed light on this matter?
 
 Thanks
 
 Damien
