["Bridgman, John" <John.Bridgman@xxxxxxx>]

Before "2D acceleration" was introduced the radeonhd driver still had
shadowfb support which made a big difference in 2D performance. I'm
pretty sure Matthias mentioned that the 3D support did not co-exist with
shadowfb either but I'm not 100% sure of that. 

Without shadowfb support, performance would be on a par with fglrx
running without DRI, ie really slow.

I know, but don't remember these applications being that slow before 2D
acceleration was introduced (or did I happily forget about that?).  I'm
using this driver since version 0.0.2.
