Hi,
Your card (r280) is one for which we've always had the full specs and
programming guide, so if our driver isn't performant, you can't really
blame ATI (nor can you if you have deeper performance problems with your
system, which seems to be the case here).

Either way, it's been quite some time since I saw a good point in this
thread.

Cheers,
Daniel
