Am I the only one with dodgy glxgears? Any ideas at all?

I've updated xorg following all relevant instructions by gentoo devs on

$ glxgears
629 frames in 5.0 seconds = 125.622 FPS
629 frames in 5.0 seconds = 125.718 FPS
627 frames in 5.0 seconds = 125.377 FPS
If I maximise the window, still no gears just a black terminal window
and I get:
93 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18.474 FPS
It's never been that bad before. I've noticed that emerge -uDv world
pulled in xorg-drivers and it also emerged xf86-video-ati. I attach the
list of the packages that were emerged today and my Xorg.0.log, just in
case you see something amiss in there.
Please ask if you need more info.
PS. I have no xorg.conf, but can post the *.fdi files if needed.
No. See recent post: [gentoo-user] Xorg slow after upgrade

Thanks Valmor, I saw the thread. I don't run KDE4 only xdm/fluxbox (although
I run KDE4 applications individually). In the past the odd xorg upgrade might
have made things worse, until a new version came out and restored performance
to a good/acceptable level. This current deterioration in performance has
been gradual since I think xorg 1.5. All I can assume is that my hardware is
so getting so old that it is becoming unsupported.
