<pre>I am seeing very poor rendering performance when drawing scenes with
transparency.
This is with Mesa 17.1.3 as distributed with Fedora 26 beta
(mesa-dri-drivers-17.1.3-2.fc26). Testing on Intel HD Graphics 620, lspci shows
it as "Device 5916"
Rendering has slowed by 10-100x and is significantly (10x) slower than pure
software rendering (via LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE)
Specifically, I see very high CPU usage during rendering in the
intel_miptree_map(), intel_offset_S8(), and intel_miptree_unmap() routines.
Via "perf record" and "perf report", the locus of the CPU usage is clear:
91.34% dg_scope_sa i965_dri.so [.] intel_miptree_map
4.53% dg_scope_sa i965_dri.so [.] intel_offset_S8
1.25% dg_scope_sa i965_dri.so [.] intel_miptree_unmap
>From typical stack backtraces (such as pasted below) it
seems to be spending most of its time mapping (with
intel_mipmap_tree.c:intel_miptree_map_s8()) or unmapping a rather large
(width=815, height=534) miptree (which translates to the size of the entire
FreeGLUT window being rendered into)
Notice that all of this is inside a call to glutBitmapCharacter()... i.e.
it appears that every character being drawn causes creation and destruction of
a full-window miptree.
... Hence the terrible performance.
