I wouldn't have posted my observation here if I hadn't checked in advance
against other distros using "Xorg" 7.0.0 to exclude upstream issues to a
reasonable extent. For both systems, I obtain 70% higher fps with the live
CD of a different distro which makes it likely that the issue is a "Fedora"
one. This justifies in my opinion the to post to this list and to ask for
confirmation by other "Fedora Core" development testers. I further recall
that e.g. "Red Hat" Bug #180150,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=180150 ,
is due to a custom "Red Hat" patch. It is thus not at all obvious that bug
reports or requests upstream are always a better idea.

It's generally a good idea to subscribe to the DRI and Mesa mailing
lists if experiencing GL performance issues or other problems. The IRC
channel #dri-devel on
freenode.net is also quite useful. That's a
direct pipe to the developers, who are generally quite helpful and
often provide troubleshooting tips, etc.
Hope this helps.
