The GtkRadioButton performance continued to regress, but by a much smaller margin.
Even with the latest code found in the Linux 2.6.30 kernel and an early snapshot of the xf86-video-intel 2.8 driver, its performance was still lower than using EXA in the xf86-video-intel 2.6 driver in the Linux 2.6.28 kernel.
While the three GtkPerf tests encountered a drop in performance, the rects blended performance through JXRenderMark, which stresses the X Render extension, had sustained 59% more operations per second with the newest code.
