[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 0/8] More state optimizations for st/mesa

[Marek Olšák]

Hi,

When binding a new shader, st/mesa marks at least 7 states as dirty
per shader stage, but usually we just need shader constants and maybe
fragment shader textures. Processing states for UBOs, SSBOs, atomics,
and images is usually a waste of time.

This series resolved that issue as well as other inefficiencies.

It improves Bioshock Infinite performance by 1%, and it's even higher
for some scenes.

of contexts instead of 3. That will be the default for all my work
from now on.
