That would suggest a per-frame overhead issue of some kind. Perhaps there is something limiting the maximum frame rate you are able to get. It's able to deliver, say, 30-40 fps in GLXspheres and Google Earth, which seems fast, but GLXgears (which people expect to run at thousands of fps) seems slow.
