Can you give a rough estimate/timeframe for when the performance 
regressions for R7xx cards since F11 will be fixed? That is the only thing 
that keeps me on F11 right now. When running the F13 LiveCD I cannot play a 
360p Youtube video without it dropping frames due to high CPU usage but on 
F11 things work fine an CPU usage is significantly lower.
