One thing that might help would be to map the screen as a couple of
1M sections. You will be generating a lot of TLB misses with it just
mapped as pages. What happens if you just drag outlines ?

There is hardware acceleration support in the display controller, but
I haven't seen any X server support for it anywhere.

Is Xhpc based on the original cfb/mfb code or on Keith Packard's
Xfb work ?
