It depends which drivers you are using. If this is the XFree-4.2 standard, then the reason is (thanks to Gareth Hughes) the tdfx driver in that release was head & shoulders above the others in terms of how it dealt with unclipped primitives (such as in gears). Also, gears performance has a lot to do with buffer clearing and swapping, which to do properly on the radeon requires access to HyperZ functionality, which we don't have. That said, on the tcl-0-0-branch with page flipping enabled, I get 2200 fps for gears on a celeron-1000, radeon 7500.
