@Bartek: Absolute performance improvement is only one metric. The other side of the coin is that the new driver either sucks 30% of CPU, or uses an experimental graphics sub-system (UXA) that has problems all of its own for some (most ?) people. Given there is no benefit to the newer Intel X driver in and of itself, the older one should be retained (maybe offer a choice of the two at upgrade time).
