I get random lagging when playing the recently released Mad Ma=
x. Every once in
a while, the game freezes completely, and gets back to the game after an
arbitrary amount of seconds, anywhere from 2 to 35.=20
With GALLIUM_HUD, and noticed that the lags appear to precede the VRAM slow=
ly
ramping up to full, and then I get this huge lag, and then VRAM usage is a =
lot
lower (eg. from 1GB to ~600MB).
I found this possibly related news item from a couple of months back:
