Well, in the immortal words of Yours Truly(r), 'A strong bias doth not a
strong case make'.

        Personally, with dri enabled with my voodoo3, I can get up to 260fps
depending the app. The lowest I have seen from any app with dri is about
35fps. Very acceptable to me, I think.

        *Most* hardware runs faster under Linux. Video cards are still in the realm
of stingy docs, so they are the worst fardware to try to benchmark under
Linux - we have to figure them out on our own. Let's see MS do that and get
benchmarks like we do.
