Hi, perfomance testing is good indeed. As future work, could there be a document describing how to test VKMS performance? "I ran IGT@blah 100 times and it took xx seconds before and yy seconds after" does not really give someone like me an idea of what was actually measured. For example blending overhead increase could be completely lost in opaque pixel copying noise if the test case has only few pixels to blend, e.g. a cursor plane, not to mention the overhead of launching an IGT test in the first place. Something that would guide new developers in running meaningful benchmarks would be nice. Should e.g. IGT have explicit (VKMS) performance tests that need to be run manually, since evaluation of the result is not feasible automatically? Or a benchmark mode in correctness tests that would run the identical operation N times and measure the time before checking for correctness? The correctness verification in IGT tests, if done by image comparison which they undoubtedly will need to be in the future, may dominate the CPU run time measurements if included. Thanks, pq
