[psychonauts] Expected performance on Intel Sandybridge?

Hi,

It seems like at least part of the blit was done in software. The part I commented out converted a depth buffer.

I reported this to mesa and they fixed it a week ago. I guess they play Psychonauts too. It is in git and I tested it this morning. It works well. For reference, the bug and the commit:

Thank you for porting Psychonauts to Linux.

Regards,
Javantea

I may be reading this wrong, but it looks like glBlitFramebufferEXT() is 
doing the blit in software? That's painful.

(That being said, we're way more blitty in Psychonauts than we strictly 
need to be, so fixing this in-game will help everyone...especially these 
drivers, apparently.)

Also: anyone that sees an OpenGL issue and sends in a driver patch is my 
hero.  :)
