Maybe i can benchmark indirectly, glxgears with  and with out xgl and the
same with games and other graphics benchmarks.

Also as the code is pretty new, currently profiling would be more

The problem there is that factory is fine with XGL reviews, but part of the
review is the stability of the system, i haven't install factory so I'm not
really sure how stable is it.

The review is not XGL specific, but a way to have a vga map in linux, we
already have that for windows and every body know nvidia have better
performance in Linux, but how much better ??

Yeah, nvidia looks better :) I just hope the new owner give a little more
pushing to linux in ATI.
