--- Comment #2 from Eric Anholt eric@anholt.net 2012-03-02 17:52:23 PST --- The numbers in this report talking about glxgears just reflect surprise at vsync. It is an intentional choice to avoid tearing, and not something we will change by default. If you're excited about seeing tearing in your apps and rendering frames you'll never see, you can disable vsync in driconf.

If you can come up with a specific application that is using CPU where it didn't before and a sysprof profile showing that CPU usage (and probably INTEL_DEBUG=fallback output explaining the software fallback), then we might be able to do something.
