Title: AMD Catalyst vs. X.Org Radeon Driver 2D Performance ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "One of the common complaints about the ATI Catalyst Linux

driver is slow 2D performance, but is this really the case? Does AMD's

binary-only Linux driver have 2D performance issues that could actually

make it run slower than the open-source driver developed by the X.Org

community through specifications released by AMD? In this article we

have run a total of 28 benchmarks looking squarely at the 2D performance

between the Catalyst (fglrx) driver and the xf86-video-ati (Radeon)

drivers on Ubuntu Linux."
