-In general, however, the driver is rather slow because all vertex
-transformation is being done by an interpreter running on the PPU.
-Programs with many vertices or complex vertex shaders will run especially
-slow.
-This will be addressed in the future.
+Performance has recently improved with the addition of PPC code generation
+for vertex shaders, but the code quality isn't too great yet.

+Another bottleneck is SwapBuffers.  It may be the limiting factor for

 If the GALLIUM_NOCELL env var is set, the softpipe driver will be used
 intead of the Cell driver.
 This is useful for comparison/validation.
