Tried fgl_glxgears and got an interesting result, a little different than robinl. It flew along at ~450fps, updating image the entire time, no problem. It would only stop and choke when my XTerm displayed the fps results. I minimized my XTerm, no more choking. I tried something else -- I minimized all windows with text in them, and I can scroll quickly and smoothly between workspaces. If I restore a window with text, goes back to being slow again.

Makes me wonder if this is a font rendering problem....
