A rather odd result:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ glxgears
6871 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1374.190 FPS
6778 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1355.585 FPS
6680 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1335.941 FPS
6757 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1345.602 FPS
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ssh oberon /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears
8016 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1603.200 FPS
4882 frames in 5.0 seconds = 976.400 FPS
8000 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1600.000 FPS
7676 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1535.200 FPS

Zephyr is an Athlon-64 3200+ with an nVidia 440 MX laptop chip.  Oberon
is a Athlon XP 2000+.

I did make sure all the nVidia special environment variables were
disabled.  I have no idea why running glxgears on a remote system over
100 Mb Ethernet over an SSH X-tunnel is faster than running it locally.

Not that glxgears is that great a benchmark.  No textures, for one
thing.
