Hi

I have noticed a framerate boost (~700 fps without it and ~1100 fps with
the variable) in glxgears using INTEL_BATCH=1 but no performance gain in
real 3D apps (Enemy Territory, Google Earth). I got these results with a
915GM card in Feisty Fawn.
However in Mandriva One (I don't know the version, it was the first one
with Metisse) I got ~1100 fps regardless whether I had set the var or
not.
