Yes, but my understanding was that XAA would disappear one day so reporting problems with EXA in
the interim would seem to be a good idea. And at the moment, EXA is *just* slow - the only
difference "workload" makes is whether it drives you to pull your hair out ("without compiz") or
gouge out your eyes ("with compiz").

Cheers,
Chris
