+
+EXA is a modern acceleration architecture for the X server. It
+originally began its life as the acceleration mechanism in Keith
+Packard's "kdrive" X servers, but was ported to Xorg by Zack Rusin.
+
+EXA is interesting to me since it provides the X device driver with
+the opportunity to accelerate Render extension requests, (which
+[cairo](http://cairographics.org) uses whenever possible when talking
+to an X server.
+
+Here are various posts I've made while measuring, evaluating, and
+trying to improve EXA performance and various drivers.
+
+Oh, and by the way, the cool people on the playground seem to
+pronounce EXA as a two-syllable word as opposed to a three-letter
+[initialism](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym#Nomenclature). I
+guess I'm just not that cool yet, because I still think "ee ex ay"
+when I see "EXA"---maybe that's because I associate EXA with its
+predecessor, XAA, (which doesn't afford a word-like
+pronunciation). See also: Xorg pronounced as "zorg".
