However, the size is tiny (16k+16k) for gears and info, so for a GUI
install I reckon it should be included. It's at least a basic GL test
tool which is proof of GL before trying some games / screen savers etc.
I'll file the request if there is any one else who would agree its needed ??
IMHO glxgears is actually something of a poor benchmark, as it's
measuring how fast a certain specific set of operations work, and IIRC
People will use anything as a benchmark, just as they use bogomips, MIPS
and hdparm. Generally, they're no more than a general indication of
performance, but valuable nonetheless. Better numbers usually mean
better performance, good to highlight problems, not enough to choose the
ultimate winner.
If bad numbers from glxgears mean poor performance, then it fits the
same mould.
