Display card upgrade, performance downgrade
I got a new display card, Radeon 9250 to replace my old Radeon 9000 as the old card most most likely acting up. To my surprise this was a glxgears performance downgrade from 1400 FPS to just 700-800 FPS. I'm still hoping to find some ways of improving the performance. I have no good guesses at the moment but I'll at least try ATI's own commercial drivers, though with Radeon 9000 I found them slower that going the dri-trunk way. With the current card at the moment I'm using just normal X.
