ATI open source vs Catalyst phoronix benchmarks

[Marek Olšák]

That's understandable because there is no tiling and no DRI2 Swap on the
tested KMS machine. Both improve performance and both are probably available
in Mesa 7.2 (except that DRI2 -> DRI1). Feel free to rerun the tests with
the two, you might end up pleasantly surprised.
