I suspect you hae an old version of libGL floating around that certain
apps are using.  if glxinfo shows direct rendering it is probably
using the correct libGL.  run 'ldd /path/to/glxgears' and compare it
to 'ldd /path/to/slow/app'

if they are different, remove or rename the the libGL used by the slow
app.  if you rename it, change the start of the filename.  if you
append something to the end, the ld may treat the appended string as a
newer revision and use it anyway.
