Hi All,

Not sure if it is correct mail list for my question, please point me in 
right direction if I am wrong.

I tried glamor acceleration on xf86-video-ati-7.0 & mesa-9.0 & 
kernel-3.6.6. I didn't see any performance improvements in comparison 
with modesetting and catch 2 noticeable performance regressions:
- gtkperf bench times worse with glamor enabled (attached)
- firefox/thunderbird window resize seriously lags

My questions is:
- does it make sense to post bugs on it? Or you aware of issues and 
don't want reports at this stage.
- is oprofile data or something similar somehow helps to get glamor 
acceleration on radeonsi in better shape?

P.S. Can you please share current plans on when radeonsi support will mature.
