Just for comparison now that I have reverted all my changes, I ran the
benchmark against the Intel HD 4000 card and I get a score of 1800, though
my resolution is somewhat less (1920x1080 versus 1920x1200) on the Intel
card versus Radeon. Disappointing, I was hoping the Radeon PMD would see
more improvement in performance with all of the driver and mesa changes.
