I'm not sure... The speed enhancement depends on your hardware.. a well-accelerated
driver usually doesn't get much from improved code. The old XFree2.0 svga server
was quite improved back when I had a cirrus and made benchmarks...

At the moment, neither egcs nor pgcc seem to be able to compile xfree332 correctly
on my system (everything except the servers work fine, though).
