Note how the P200MMX fillrect numbers are better than those of the
better performing computers, and how the bitblt is in the same range for
the Viper 550 and the Banshee.
If we could put a Diamond Viper 770 into my 486, we’d probably see very
close bitblt numbers. But now, my Pentium 225 is giving me closer to
30,000 for that operation than from 800,000.
Anybody can see a 2500% difference in performance, right?–

Here’s what I get from your test program, Pierre:
Could people with dual-boot system test this one, with similar settings
to what they have in Linux?
The options are the following:
-800 set size to 800x600
-1024 set size to 1024x768
-1280 set size to 1280x1024
-1600 set size to 1600x1200
-full fullscreen mode
-rect fill rectangle instead of blitting
-8 8 bpp
-16 16 bpp
-32 32 bpp
-system use system memory instead of video memory
Maybe a similar benchmark done in SDL would be best. It would enable
testing the performance of SDL itself on different platforms.
Also, here are few numbers gathered (the numbers are bytes per second)
from a few different machines (my best Xlib blitting test does around
30000). bitblt is video to video blitting (similar to what a pixmap to
window XCopyArea should be able to do in the best cases) and sysblt is
system to video blitting (the equivalent of a XShmPutImage and what most
pixmap to window XCopyArea should be able to do).
