Update on OpenGL performance on Intel GPUs

 

Well, I got rich (more or less) and plundered the store for a 300 EUR
laptop for the office. CPU power is slightly better but the GPU is not
a 'classic' i915 but an HD one.

Performance on the opengl view is *waaaay* better; this time opengl is
better than xlib drawing.

(the reason is that in the HD GPUs shaders are run on the GPU, not in
the mesa library :D)

So I'd say that Intel's GPUs are now adequate, if you have at least an
HD one.
