The ATI Technologies Inc M24GL [Mobility FireGL V3200] rev 128 card can do:
32000000 reps @   0.0002 msec (6420000.0/sec): Char in 80-char aa line
(Charter 10)
32000000 reps @   0.0002 msec (6430000.0/sec): Char in 80-char aa line
(Charter 10)
32000000 reps @   0.0002 msec (6330000.0/sec): Char in 80-char aa line
(Charter 10)
32000000 reps @   0.0002 msec (6440000.0/sec): Char in 80-char aa line
(Charter 10)
32000000 reps @   0.0002 msec (6440000.0/sec): Char in 80-char aa line
(Charter 10)
160000000 trep @   0.0002 msec (6410000.0/sec): Char in 80-char aa line
(Charter 10)

using 6.9.0 open source ati driver. So the intel performance is quite poor
right now.
