Default glxgears for Athlon XP 2000 with GeForce 5600 FX gets

16666 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3333.200 FPS

Still I had this issue on my todo list and and briefly wanted to close it for myself and the list archive:

With no obvious irregularities in my x.org and the BIOS settings, I
still have about 1450fps with glxgears (Athlon 64 3200 with GeForce FX
5700LE). When switching to a text console with e.g. ALT-F2, waiting a
few seconds, then with ALT-F7 going back into X I see that glxgears was
up to 5180fps - what a difference! - and falling back to 1450fps again
when switching back to my X display.

My desktop configuration is KDE 3.4.1, x.org 6.8.2, and translucency
and transparency activated in KDE. Obviously, simply having all this on
the active display without any other additional load already has this
remarkable impact on the fps rate. I did not yet evaluate any further,
which part of KDE exactly is causing this.
