Hm, don't know about the performance, the r300 driver doesn't seem that
fast anyway (at least subjectively my old and now broken 8500 seemed
faster to me that the 9600XT I have now).

No, sorry, I don't think I found another app showing the same problem,
and in searching for a solution there weren't that many mentioned - only
some other commercial games, I think. You can download a demo of
Darwinia at http://darwinia.co.uk/downloads/demo_linux.html to test
(you'll probably have to disable the pixel effects in the graphics
options to get a somewhat bearable speed).
Bye,
