While I have noticed the following on undeadly but must have missed it on the mailing lists: "Mesa 7.2 defaults to sync-to-vblank for intel chips in an attempt to avoid "tearing" in the display. In this mode, OpenGL drawing is synchronised to the refresh rate of your monitor and thus is capped at that rate. If for some reason this bothers you, you may circumvent this by either setting 'vblank_mode=0' in your environment or use driconf (in ports) to configure this option." Might be relevant. http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20081104235706&mode=expanded&count=4 // nick
