This is quite weird. I measure speed of starting The Sims 3 by sound only. Screen in completely black (bug #26114) so I can not see anything. Anyway with commit: ffd625d4aaf145eb28fc76617e95ffc3fdfd54cc radeon: don't attempt to use alternate blit formats for depth buffers I start The Sims 3, hear something, then 15seconds of silence, then 500ms of sound, 15seconds of silence, and so on. It may be good start for debugging low The Sims 3 speed when we kill bug #26114 some day.
Note: classic r600 driver has been abandoned. Please use r600g (gallium driver) instead. Is this still an issue with a newer driver/kernel?
The classic r600 driver has been abandoned long ago. It was replaced by the Gallium driver r600g. If you have issues with r600g please file a new bug report with component Drivers/Gallium/r600 Thanks.
