Most people don't have an SGI Octane2 sitting in their house... :-) We
need to compare on a standard PC with Nvidia or ATI binary blob drivers

Actually the version of AGG in all the distributions is a potential
show stopper, as we don't want to require anyone to build AGG from
source to build Gnash. So we're still brainstorming. One big advantage
OpenGL has is simply that was how the last release went out, so that's
what people expect.

Tell me about it... That's how I run all the time cause I dislike
binary blobs in free software.
