Comment # 13 on bug 27407 from David "okias" Heidelberger

Performance of this card (and driver too) could be better.

Recomended configuration under Gentoo:
USE="gallium -classic llvm"
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon r300"

llvm can give you in some applications/games double framerate, so please use
it.

And reminding, that glxgears isn't benchmark. Bigger value better, but doesnt
measure real performance.

This is 3 years old bug, so closing as WONTFIX, if someone step up to improve
performance, as owner of RS690, i'll be glad :)
