That's a pretty good point.

I have:
- an amd-64 2800+, and I use the k7 kernel
- a Radeon 9800, for which I use the fglrx driver, with acceleration on.

And when I use firefox or any of the gnome/gtk+ programs, it feels
like I'm back on my old duron 700 MHz... :(

Everything is super snappy when I'm in windows 2000...

What do I do?
