All I'm saying is that it reflects badly on you if you need to resort to
skewed numbers.

I don't think they are skewed. Most desktops today have hardware
OpenGL and software Render. The ratios are an accurate reflection of
what a normal user would see when comparing Cairo on X vs Cairo on
OpenGL. You may try to change the platform in the future but hardware
Render is not deployed anywhere currently.

Even KeithP says he would rather be on OpenGL than to continue
accelerating Render functions and he designed Render. The argument is
not about the technical merits of Render vs OpenGL, it's about the
fact that OpenGL is a widely available standard that is well
documented. Thousands of people can program to the OpenGL APL while
only very few know about Render. Let's stand on the shoulders of other
programmers (you're one of them since you helped with mesa) rather
than build everything again.
