When has glxgears ever been demanding[1]? I would hope a modern CPU could handle a few hundred vertices(guessing) at 60fps.

On an Intel 7700k, using `LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1` to force llvmpipe, glxgears reports ~3900fps, compared to ~20000fps on GPU (RX570 amdgpu).

Heck, a 3990X can run Crysis using software rendering.
