Executor on Xaccel & XFree



Hello,

I thought Linux users might be interested in the following benchmarking 
that I did on my system.  I ran speedometer under the standard 
XFree3.1.2, then under the exact same configuration I ran it under 
Xinside's Xaccel...  Here's what I found:

What I thought was particularly interesting was that calculations seem to 
actually speed up with AccelX also.  Why is this?  I was expecting those 
to stay constant, but only have the video-related tests to improve...  
Can anyone explain this odd phenomena?
