it's pretty easy, really: just see how long it takes to send 1000 pixmaps 
across the bus using the two methods. this is a lot easier than measuring 
memory (hard to tease it out of the kernel and separate all the noise from the 
data) or graphics speed (where there are so many layers and subsystems at 
play) ...
