Hmm, personally I was never able to get good performance out of EXA with
a 32MB r100 card (read: completely unusable). Maybe that has changed
with more recent xorg server versions, and I guess it should have
changed with KMS (I certainly used to have problems even with a 64MB
card without KMS, if the resolution was more than XGA), but unless
you're willing to ditch non-KMS too that might be a reason to keep it
for now, though I guess that would mean fixing...
