And I do not know of any benchmarks that shows the difference between those two. On the commercial front we have two or three commercial vendors offering X-servers. XiG is one which I know from the top of my head, I have no clue who those others were again. But who know, mayhaps someone has done a test, I am curious about the results though. What laptop is it btw? I have used a Dell Latitude CP with great pleasure together with FreeBSD 3.x and XFree 3.3.3.1 and upwards.
