Subject: framebuffer blitting performance loss  2.6.12 -> 2.6.13-rc3


Hi everybody!

There is a serious performance loss between 2.6.12 and 2.6.13-rc3
affecting _all_ framebuffer devices, especially those with fast
bitblit functions.

I haven't seen any significant performance penalty, between 2.6.12-rc5-mm1
and 2.6.13-rc3-mm1.

Based on your results, I would pinpoint the culprit to be in
video/console/bitblit.c.  However, the changes there are minor, and should not
alter the peformance.

Tony
