+// This disables threaded rendering on anything using mesa, e.g.

+// - amd/gallium
+// - intel
+// - some software opengl implementations

+// The client glx vendor string is used to identify those setups as that seems to show the least
+// variance between the bad configurations. It's always "Mesa Project and SGI". There are some
+// configurations which don't use mesa and which can do threaded rendering (amd and nvidia chips
+// with their own proprietary drivers).
+//
+// This, of course, is very broad and disables threaded rendering on a lot of devices which would
+// be able to use it. However, the bugs listed below don't follow any easily recognizable pattern
