Chris Wilson c1afc831c8 uxa: Cache solid fills. Maintain a small cache of pixmaps to hold SolidFill pictures. Currently we create a pixmap the size of the damaged region and fill that using pixman before downloading it to the GPU and compositing. Needless to say this is extremely expensive compared to simply emitting the solid colour. To mitigate this cost, we maintain a small cache of 1x1R pictures which is recognised by the driver as being a solid, but at the very least is maintained as a GPU ready pixmap. This gives a good boost to cairo-xcb (which uses solid fills) on a gm45: Before: gnome-terminal-vim: 41.9s After: gnome-terminal-vim: 31.7s Compare with using a cache of 1x1R pixmaps in cairo-xcb: gnome-terminal-vim: 31.6s Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>		2009-12-07 21:37:31 +00:00
