hd-graphics-2500-mesa Intel Core i5-3470 testing with a MSI B75A-G43 (MS-7758) v2.0 and Intel Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core on openSUSE project 12.3 via the Phoronix Test Suite. This test is conducted while the NVIDIA blob is installed, with update-alternatives being used to route back the needed libraries for Mesa. This should show whether that has any negative effect on Mesa performance.
