no difference at all. AGPGART operation isn't a performance critical
thing, as the hardware does 99% of the work.

Yes, that was also my opinion, but after using AGPGART, hmm.

And it was on my last 32 bit FC2 systems with other hardware the same slow operations on the desktop. And I'm not alone, there are some nvnews.net linux forum users which report the same slow performance with AGPGART.

Maybe the linux kernel AGPGART do not run well with the nVidia 2D acceleration renderer or the kernel driver and is a nvidia problem.
