5 Actually the results using dri is worse than the results without dri in terms
6 of frame rates. Without dri I get something like 250 FPS. With dri I get
7 something like 228 FPS. The great difference though is when looking at the X
8 cpu usage. glxgears uses around 0.5 % with or without dri. But without dri X
9 uses 92% of the cpu resources. With dri X uses between 0.5 and 1% cpu. So
10 obviously dri is preferable... ;)
