What performance increases in graphics processing are they talking about?

I'm with you thought, I do hope all of their work will be landed in mainline kernel so everyone could enjoy the benefits, and we could play games (through Steam or other methods) on most Linux distros, without much hassle.

Phoronix has several articles about the work that Valve has done with Linux GPU drivers (open source and proprietary)

That one is about how valve themselves got value out of debugging on open source GPU drivers.
