Comment 19 for bug 359600

Switching to "greedy" was a good option to try out, and for some users definitely worth trying. We tested it pretty extensively and appreciate everyone who helped with this. We found that it helped a number of people with performance issues, but not everyone, and indeed some people found it caused graphics corruption or other issues. Furthermore, it is an option that upstream (Intel) does not support and actually advocates *not* using. Finally, we know that there are better fixes available (kernel patches).

For all these reasons, I opted to not go forward with setting it for the distro overall, but I did ensure it is widely documented as a possible workaround.

I will dupe this into the generic intel performance bug report. Sorry if this innundates you with bug mail.
