I've tested LX5.03 - Xig's Accelerated X for laptops on my old Toshiba w/
Chips&Technologies chipsets.
Being a poor student I tested it for a couple a hours, restarting X every
10 minutes (stupid time-limit in the demo). I've gotta say it blew me
away. Running enlightenment went really smooth, for once.
I've heard the performance-gain should be about 10% - on my machine that
was exceeded by far. I guess the difference is more noticable in low-end
machines. You should check it out for yourself. The demo is very easy
to install and remove over Debian.
Unfortunately $150+ is to steep for my wallet.
