Just to put some sort of benchmark here.  I compiled Mesa CVS and DRM cvs.
 and plugged the new radeon_dri.so and radeon.ko/drm.ko modules into the
kernel and xorg that ships with Fedora Core 3.

Thinkpad X22 (P3/800, radeon chipset as in message title)

These are from glxgears, default window size (300x300), 1024x768x16
scrwwn:

Original:  386 FPS

CVS DRM / Mesa, no hyperz:  388 FPS 

CVS DRM / Mesa, hyperz enabled:  780 FPS

I enabled hyperz using the driconf utility from here:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DriConf

How much of a performance increase would come of recompiling xorg (which
is the most painful of the set to build :) )
