As I wrote before I tried that also with 3.3.0-0.rc4.git1.4.fc17.x86_64
(the latest for FC17 at that time) with no real difference.  If this one
is "debug" then how recognize one which is not?  Remember that it has to
support llvmpipe.

In any case dropping CPU usage by 10-20% would not be really significant
in the context.
