I was curious to see how performance differs from vesa. And,
meanwhile, am I right if I think that the whole graphics math is done
on cpu (I mean - not on gpu), so the faster the cpu the better vesa
(and any) driver performance? Proprietary drivers use gpu and many
things built in the graphics controller and so they unload the cpu.
Plan 9 drivers are there to initialize and set up the device, scroll
and fill and this is, basically all, right? If this is so, the brute
force through powerful cpu + vesa is easiest solution, the way to go.
