Bug#452896: EXA is (apparently) slower than XAA on some 2d operations
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.2.0-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Using EXA (the default) makes some windows redraw slowly enough to be
annoying, XAA enhances the situation a bit, but it's still slow enough
to be annoying.
Dragging windows around makes the on-demand cpu governor jump to top cpu
speed (not top cpu _usage_).
Sadly this is highly subjective, I don't know how to prove this or offer
better info than my opinion.
