[cairo] [PATCH 0/3] Optimize VBO size for GL and EGL

[Bryce Harrington]

Last year I posted a patch I'd used in some experiments I did with
varying the VBO size.[1] I'd found that this had an appreciable (8%)
performance impact on the firefox-fishbowl tests.  Chris Wilson
suggested some improvements[2] to enable this performance optimization
to actually get taken advantage of.

The first patch is the original proposed patch.  The second makes the
VBO size trackable on a per-backend basis.  The third applies the actual
optimization, changing the default VBO size for GL to 1M while leaving
it at 16k for EGL.

The firefox-fishbowl test case measures the performance of a large
number of moving sprites.  I do not know of any real-world use cases
this improves, but presumably the fishbowl test suggests that this patch
should have some benefit to cairogl-based animation.
