Mesa 11.0.2 vs. Mesa 11.2-devel Benchmarks On Intel Skylake
For those currently running Ubuntu 15.10 or other similar Linux distributions powered off Mesa 11.0, here are some performance benchmarks comparing that release to the about-to-be-branched Mesa 11.2.
From an Intel Core i5 6600K system I conducted some benchmarks of Mesa 11.0.2 as available by default on Ubuntu 15.10 compared to Mesa 11.2-devel when enabling the Padoka PPA on the same installation with the exact same hardware.

DRI2 vs. DRI3 Benchmarks With Intel Skylake HD Graphics 530
While DRI3 appears to be in good shape with the latest X.Org Server series and Direct Rendering Infrastructure 3 is even mandated by the Intel Mesa Vulkan driver, DRI2 is still the default with the xf86-video-intel DDX driver, similar to the situation in the Radeon DDX driver as well.
For those wondering about the performance impact of enabling DRI3 rather than using the default DRI2, there are some benchmarks in this article of DRI2 vs. DRI3 rendering using an Intel Core i5 6600K "Skylake" system with HD Graphics 530. Besides potentially faster performance and being a requirement for the Intel Vulkan driver on X11, DRI3 can reduce tearing and provide other benefits too.
