How does glxgears run? On this desktop here (GeForce 9600 GT, I think)
I get:
glxgears: 107396 frames in 5.0 seconds = 21479.049 FPS
Coot spin test: INFO:: 22163 frames in 5.00 seconds = 4432.60 frames/sec
Coot graphics speed should be roughly proportional.

Yes, that is typical behaviour.

Also, try the setting:
