I was testing Ilia's patches for ddx, and while they definitely helped for Xorg itself, 
qemu still eats a lot of CPU if launched like this

qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom ~/Downloads/ISO/slax-English-US-7.0.8-x86_64.iso -m 1G -display sdl,gl=on -enable-kvm

and left for few hours.

so, may be similar fix needed for mesa, too?

ow, I started it in ddx src directory :} need to cleanup there. But at least data is 100
