An earlier link shows quite a few games that have noticeable perf
impact. Feel free to grab anyone and do some analysis that you'd
consider most appropriate. I fear I won't be able to help you out there :(

This is a very nice first step. Thank you.

>From a quick look at MSDN it seems to me that going the DDI (like) route
would require substantial rework on the wine side. How much contribution
from wine can we expect ? Would you have the chance to help with
design/coding, or would you be (no disrespect here) limited to answering
questions ?

I'm sure that not everything in mesa is perfect yet I've not seen (m)any
bug reports from you guys. If/when you guys spot something
broken/extremely slow please bugzilla it or send an email to the ML.

Good relations are based on mutual feedback :)

Speaking of feedback, please consider using GLX_MESA_query_renderer. It
should help you (at least a bit) with the massive
vendor/device/video_memory tables that you currently have.


Thanks
