That is what I would expect for most cases: 2D performance should be about the same for most drivers. >Test has been done on a Compaq Presario 713EA (laptop), gfx is >TwisterK (proSavage).

I have already found and fixed several problems with the i810 support by doing this, and I'm still looking into some possible issues with a couple of other drivers. It is a good idea to do test runs at different depths and root window sizes. Also, a test run with a software-only driver (like vesa, or against Xvfb, or with the "NoAccel" option enabled) can provide a good reference run to compare against. The xtest source can be checked out from the XFree86 CVS repository (the module is "test"), or a source tarball can be downloaded from <ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/xtest/>. The easiest way to build and run it is to use the build.sh and run.sh scripts in the test/xsuite directory. People who have hardware that supports DRI could also look at GL performance and correct testing. Maybe someone else can post links to tools that are useful for that.
