Wellthis could be definitivly the reason why am I seeing not optimal
performance of GTK/GDK based applications on my computer since both
pc's I own are nvidia-based (gf488go and fx5200).
I would be interrested which operation's are slower with the
proprietary drivers, maybe it would be worth to investigate further
and send ATI/NVIDIA bugreports?
