After some test periods using EXA and using XAA, I can see little difference 
on the Acer Aspire One (Intel 945GME Express).  It did make a great deal of 
difference on the ATi Radeon Mobility X600 laptop, but since that laptop runs 
Mandriva I doubt if Fedora actually want that report.  If it's helpful, I'll 
do it.
