It is faster than firefox by a measurable margin from my experience and I am not using its start page ever. In any ways as it is closed when testing 3D in this case it has no effect on the performance.
In case of extreme tux racer I see 90-100% CPU but only towards that executable. In case of glxgears I see stable 25% towads glxgears. In Both cases there is a minor 0.3% or usually less towards dwm and sometimes towards Xorg.
I feel the AGP acceleration is just missing and I have no idea why. The code path in the driver and other informations presented above now surely indicate this. :-(
PS.: When I say "it is faster than firexfox by a measurable margin from my experience" I am talking about only my machine and maybe single core machines. It seems mainstream browsers all move towards the multi-core performance focus, but this one performs well here still and that I why I am using it.
