I agree with you on "older PC" (and that's why we would still have the
option to use "normal" X). But newer graphics cards have only 3D
acceleration, not 2D. This means that current cards can draw a line
faster if using 3D functions that 2D -- and that's where the real power
of Xgl comes in.

So it won't affect older PCs with older graphics cards, but newer cards
would take full advantage of their power.
