It was a matter of swapping fglrx for firmware-linux. Guess I had the idea
that it was all getting outdated.

It seems like firmware-linux is self-adjusting somehow. 

At first it was loosing frames in HD vids and Goolge Earth ran haltingly
although without complaining about lack of 3D.  After 4 sessions, I notice
only a very slight difference from fglrx performance.
