So apparently if you echo "export PAN_MESA_DEBUG='gofaster'" > ~/.bashrc it will make pretty much everything faster. Now, if you do that but with "gofaster:gofaster" it will make things even FASTER... (lemmy.world)

...at the expense of breaking some commands here and there. Why is that? How come env values can have this much impact in performance "for free"? This MUST have some caveats, right?

Thanks in advance.

Are you testing this on a Raspberry Pi? The PAN_ prefix seems to indicate this is a configuration for the Panfrost driver (which is the open source driver for ARM Mali GPUs) and the Raspberry Pi does not use an ARM Mali but rather a Broadcom VideoCore GPU, so I don't see how this would affect the Raspberry Pi.
