Graphics Quality in X

Folks,

I'm curious about how well X on YDL is making use of our graphics cards.
Some screen savers that run quite nicely on my little $400 eMachines run at
1/10 of the intended speed on my iMac with CS1.2.

I know screensavers are a stupid metric, but it makes good sense to me. I'm
no graphics expert, so I don't know enough to look at the code and see how
nicely it's using my 6MB of VRAM.

Can anybody address this? Have I just configured my system poorly? Or this
pretty much how X runs on a PPC?

Best,
Waldo
