On Thinkpad T61, Intel X3000, with Rawhide x86_64 installed:

Subjectively, turning on EXA seems to slow down scrolling in Firefox a bit, but
glxgears shows the same level of performance, so it might just be me. But it
does let me use compositing and Xv at the same time (i.e. watching videos under
Compiz).

Without EXA, even playing a sound file would crash Totem with the default
settings (visualization is turned on by default).

Should system-config-display automatically turn on EXA for some whitelisted list
of system configurations?
