Is this actually really a problem? glxgears scores can be flaky. For 
instance, if I run some computing app in the background (even at the 
lowest priority), glxgears score easily drops by a factor of 20. I think 
that's due to the frame throttling code which will thus preempt 
glxgears. "Slower" apps (quake3 for example) do not suffer from that 
however.
Also, if irq's are not available, that could have similar effects afaik.
