Comment 2 for bug 195843

It only helps if you show your results with INTEL_BATCH in contrast to without it. Since glxgears isn't such a great benchmark I would appreciate it if you could run the OpenArena benchmark.
Btw. the Howto seems to only work with Hardy

OpenArena benchmark installation:

sudo apt-get install openarena
mkdir -p ~/.openarena/baseoa/demos
wget -O ~/.openarena/baseoa/anholt.cfg http://people.freedesktop.org/~anholt/benchmarking/anholt.cfg
wget -O ~/.openarena/baseoa/demos/anholt.dm_68 http://people.freedesktop.org/~anholt/benchmarking/anholt.dm_68

OpenArena benchmark start:

openarena +exec anholt 2>&1 | egrep -e '[0-9]+ frames'
