Comment 2 for bug 122562

Results with the benchmark plugin:

--indirect-rendering:
• idle: 59.9 FPS (my screen’s refresh rate is 60 Hz)
• typing to a terminal: 55 – 59 FPS (the benchmark plugin itself seems to slow everything down quite a bit; it’s smoother without the plugin)
• switching between workspaces rapidly: 55 – 59 FPS

Without --indirect-rendering:
• idle: 27 – 28 FPS
• typing to a terminal: 23 – 27 FPS
• switching between workspaces rapidly: 15 FPS
