Seriously not trolling here, but I think this is the most important part of your post. Gallium isn't some silver bullet. It actually is a bad fit for i915 since Gallium doesn't have any ability to...

How do you handle the kernel module portions of the proprietary graphics drivers? Compile at boot-time?

Turn it off so you get a useful graph. It's like this in /every/ article that uses nexuiz. Comparing performance of non-MSAA vs MSAA is silly.

Are you building only pbzip2 with the various compilers? pbzip2 is sort of just a front end for libbzip2, which is where the work actually happens.

I read this in every article about Intel and wonder: can you not turn off MSAA to get an accurate performance comparison?

I think when LLVMpipe was first written, LLVM wasn't able to generate good SSE code given vectorized IR, so the authors worked around this by using intrinsics.
