Bug#376132: xserver-xorg-video-ati: Very slow rendering of RGBA images

Problem is still there and is even worse with xorg 7.2 - EXA is broken
there and there is no other alternative as running binary nvidia/ati
modules. In platforms/OSes where there is no binary modules, there is
no option at all.

Note, that problem is not really bound to ati and Debian/Linux, but seems
to present on every platform using Xorg drivers with XAA.

I also opened bug in Freedesktop.org bugzilla:
