Something didn't work because "softpipe" here indicates you're using the 
slow, gallium software reference driver.

And here you're using llvmpipe.  llvmpipe is similar to SWR in that is 
uses llvm for run-time code generation, and should be pretty fast.

I haven't tried SWR yet myself and I doubt anyone on this list has much 
experience with it yet.  I suggest posting to the mesa-dev list where 
the SWR developers at Intel will see it.

I'm also cc'ing Tim Rowley in case he can help.
