That's how I used to run flightgear. In my bin folder I placed a script startfgfs that I could start from the console, which would start the x server, at a very low resolution and start flight gear. Of course, I could still use the startx for all the other things. Because no window manager runned (resources) and because my resolution was smaller (800*600) I got a noteable increase in frame rate. I used this procedure on a i810 celeron 400Mhz with 128Mb ram and got a frame rate of 8 fps. Still not very fast, but I think that machine was way under the specs for a program like flight gear.
