comparison statics

[Yuval Fledel]

In the past week I'm trying to make Wayland run on a Linux framebuffer.

My first attempt was to use cairo. It was fast. Fast enough to not
have shutter when moving the mouse. Darxus published the patches to
mailing list the a few days ago.

But using cairo would mean a different compositor, as this one is
pretty tied to EGL. So I went on to explore OpenGL. Mesa has a fbdev
target, which seems like a great match. Now I have the basic Wayland
compositor with OpenGL on fbdev (I'm now cleaning up and sending
patches). It uses Gallium3D's softpipe, and its slow. I get <1 FPS. It
could be that I'm doing something I shouldn't, and I don't really know
how to profile it, but it can't be faster than cairo by design.

What architecure are you porting it to?
