As promised, here is the code: https://garage.maemo.org/svn/plot-torturer
Btw, I tried to get the new-tesselator branch of cairo following the instructions from the mail list but got stuck in a “EOF: unexpected end of file”. Is it just me? Does anyone have a tarball of the code?
This worked for me: (hostname changed git -> gitweb [.cairographics.org])
git fetch git://gitweb.cairographics.org/~cworth/cairo new-tessellator2:new-tessellator2
cairo-perf-diff between master and new-tessellator2 died with BadAlloc (text stuff trying to allocate a pixmap larger than 32767px) There’s two simple conflicts if you merge the new-tessellator2 branch with master, but with those fixed the perf suite can be run.
On my laptop things mostly seemed slowing down, though :-/
