Yes, pipeline is more costly. emit is a passthrough path which is quite a bit
easier (pipeline will decompose tri strips etc. emitting tris, whereas emit
will leave things alone).

swr doesn't use draw, so is unaffected. Most hw drivers don't use draw neither,
some do (i915), some might (some cut-down r300 based chips) but they don't
expose (I believe) geometry shaders.
softpipe is - it doesn't use llvm-based draw by default (but you can enable
that too), but the non-llvm paths are basically the same there (just set
GALLIUM_DRIVER=softpipe and it'll crash all the same).

> What about VMware Fusion (I get the idea it's also based on mesa)?
The gl guest driver is, and it might use draw but only for fallbacks (I am not
sure you'd be able to hit this case, probably not).
The code running on the host side, no, at least not hw based rendering.
