[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] vbo: Try to reuse the same VAO more often for successive dlists.

[Mathias.Froehlich at gmx.net]

From: Mathias Fröhlich <mathias.froehlich at web.de>

Hi Brian,

that's what I mentioned yesterday.
You may want to test this change against your use cases of your recent
draw primitive optimization.
With one openscenegraph dlist based workload this change improves the
framerates on radeonsi by about 10% compared to without that change.

If it helps, please review...

best
Mathias


The change tries to catch more opportunities to reuse the same set
of VAO's when building up display lists. Instead of checking the
offset with respect to the beginning of the vertex buffer object
the change tries to apply this same optimization with respect to the
previous display list node.
