1 and 2) I just measured the frametime of the IGT test ".*kms_cursor_crc*"
using jiffies. I Collected all the frametimes, put all of them into a
spreadsheet, calculated some values and drew some histograms.

I mean, it is not the best benchmark, but at least give an idea of what
is happening.

3) The primary plane was 1024x768, but the cursor plane
varies between the tests. All XRGB_8888, if I'm not mistaken.

4) I tested it on a Qemu VM running on the Intel core i5 4440. ~3.3GHz
