This, IN NO WAY, intends to distract from Nouveau progress. But, I think that distro developers of Puppy might find this of interest.

Puppy 32/64 bit issues with NOUVEAU & nVidia drivers
Re: Puppy 32/64 bit issues with NOUVEAU & nVidia drivers
I think most people are aware of the performance difference between Nvidia Official and Nouveau as far as performance difference.
Nouveau is a nice effort... but it'll never be able to compete with the official release drivers.
As for the 15 way comparison... this doesnt affect puppy developers in any way. We dont develop for a single hardware platform. So knowing that Nvidia may or may not out perform ATI... really is meaningless. We have no control over the hardware a user may have.
It's not like we are going to develop puppy differently because one hardware driver works better than another.
