Yes, that is most likely due to Mesa using software rendering. Run the program gl-info in the FlightGear bin/ directory and see what it says. To get 3d acceleration you need to install NVIDIA's driver for your card and probably(?) rebuild OSG, SG and FlightGear so that the build is done with the right OpenGL header and linked with the right OpenGL library.
