Me too, but maybe, someone can explayn that:
I compare XAccel with XFree and can't belive (with xbench):
machine | p | xstones
------------------------------------------+----+---------
P133/32M, XAccel 1.2, Matrox 220, PB | 8 | 878094
------------------------------------------+----+---------
P133/32M, XAccel 1.3pl4, Matrox 220, PB | 8 | 821428

P133/64M, XFree86 3.3, Matrox 220, PB | 8 | 756999
------------------------------------------+----+---------
P133/32M, XAccel 1.2, Matrox 220 | 16 | 510290
------------------------------------------+----+---------
P133/64M, XFree86 3.3, Matrox 220, PB | 16 | 504597

with 1600x1280 and 16bpp xengine says about 1000rpm (with XAccel and
XFree) but now XAccel won't run, I think it's are the fonts (Can't find
font: fixed)
I unpacked the fixed font (.gz) and mkfontdir(1), but XAccel won't run ...
Do I need the update? But how fast is Xaccel 2.1? And why is 1.3 slower
than 1.2 ...
But XFree do the job :-)
