It was hidden in another part of the thread, but I actually don't care 
(much) about performance, as this is for a regression testing system.

More importantly, though, the issue with direct rendering is that I need 
to be able to connect to an X server.  That's a huge pain with a 
regression testing system run through (i.e.) buildbot/tinderbox/plain 
cron, especially when you are testing multiple software packages on one 
system (== multiple users, for sandboxing purposes).

If you have any insights as to better approaches in such an environment, 
I am all ears.
