It's likely an OpenGL issue.  Try running "glxgears -info" and see what
you get.  On my 1.2 GHz Athlon with a Matrox G450 (hardly cutting-edge
hardware), I got 80+ frames per second with the gears window maximized.
If you're currently using software rendering, which sounds likely, it'll
take some futzing around with your XFree config files to get it to use
the right modules for your video card.
