Best graphics performance?

Many years ago I remember taking an operating system that was in its
third release and requesting the engineers work very hard on memory
optimization.  Concentrating on that they reduced the booting and
running memory footprint by 50%, and as a consequence the operating
system ran programs (on the average) 7% faster.

7% may not sound like much, but it can be the difference between
"sluggish" and "o.k."

This is part of what makes source code availability and open hardware
important, so many people can work on things like performance.
