That would likely be because xosview puts a HUGE drain on the xserver in
sending out a lot of drawing events and XFlush()es.  Every XFlush() means
that the OpenGL stuff has to stop what it's doing in order to synchronize
with the X server again, if my understanding of the DRI architecture is
correct.
