That is really unexpected. For a modern desktop (i.e. anything that
pageflips) there should be zero difference. And for actual frontbuffer
rendering there should only be a difference when doing tiny cpu rendering
to the frontbuffer.
So something didn't work out as expected. Can you please push the code
somewhere, or just submit patches to intel-gfx?
Thanks, Daniel
