Hi Cam, I've been playing with VMGL also. I'm at work right now so I'll make it quick: I'm getting ~35 FPS with 'glxgears' in the guest versus ~1100 in the host. That's around the same ratio as what the VMGL author gets with a XEN HVM guest. What are your numbers? I've been able to run with virtio but I did not see any significant increase; that might be because I'm using the usermode network stack. I have been setting up Xen on my test machine to see if I can reproduce the author's results.
