Hi,

I ran a complete set of x11perf on first system (Celeron 2.8Ghz w/NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 using nv driver), using the herd 4 livecd, and the version installed on my drive (herd 5 with updates, including the new xorg 7.2 drivers). I used the same xorg.conf, disabled screensavers and monitor poweroff, and had no other processes running for these tests. I'm attaching the results, and system logs tarred together.

As you can see from the output, some operations with xorg 7.2 are up to 5x slower than xorg 7.1.1; in particular see 1x1 fills, "X protocol NoOperation", and nearly all window operations.

I can perform these benchmarks on my laptop (Intel 82855GM) if you wish, but I'm pretty sure we'll see a similar pattern (especially regarding window operations), as I'm seeing the same sluggishness on both systems using xorg 7.2.
