It is possible that this is a problem with our mesa package, which does not use LLVM for the Gallium drivers. It might be worth changing this. Unfortunately, this will result in quite a few rebuilds, so this change would only be available in a few weeks. Could you please send an email to [email protected] requesting that mesa be built with LLVM for better performance of the Gallium drivers? ~~ Ricardo
