Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a 44.1% improvement of phoronix-test-suite.gluxmark.Fullscreen.1280x1024.Fragment.total_score due to commit:

commit: 55ea1cb178ef85677b35126685fbf5d8d649b62e ("drm/i915: Enable async flips in i915") git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel drm-intel-next-queued

in testcase: phoronix-test-suite on test machine: 12 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz with 8G memory with following parameters:

need_x: true test: gluxmark-1.1.1 option_a: Fullscreen option_b: Fragment cpufreq_governor: performance ucode: 0xd6

test-description: The Phoronix Test Suite is the most comprehensive testing and benchmarking platform available that provides an extensible framework for which new tests can be easily added. test-url: http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/

In addition to that, the commit also has significant impact on the following tests:
