"Fedora Project has been on the forefont of development and adoption of
kernel mode setting to enhance the desktop linux experience by making
fairly invasive infrastructure improvements that affect the interaction
between Xorg and the Linux kernel. In the past, one of the common way to
test Xorg performance has been to use glxgears. While that hasn't been a
particular good way to do it ever, the switch to kernel mode setting for
Intel drivers ahead of the Fedora 11 Beta release to be available
shortly has exposed the fallacy of this. In short, don't use glxgears.
There are better methods to assess performance."
