Adam,

3d performance went up some with the new kernel, although I am getting
some minor corruption in qemu clients and flash videos (I and others
have reported this corruption a couple of weeks ago on #radeon). Unknown
if there is a fix at this point.

I have not tried the new kernel without pcie_aspm=off yet. But plan to.

Kevin
