EXA in Intel 2.6.1 exposes some significant performance regressions (across all intel graphics chips as I understand). Running in UXA mode addresses this and increases performance further.

When this transparency issue is addressed and we move to intel-2.6.3 also, I feel making UXA default for newer graphics chipsets (or at least test for jaunty alpha 6) will be a profitable move, introducing minimal risk. I've been using UXA on my GM45 platform since 2.6.0 and EXA relatively jerky and slow.
