glxgears frame rate benchmark

[ted leslie]

I have felt my graphics a little pokey on my new gutsy set up.
I ran glxgears, and got 11000 FPS on the detault window size.
I then scaled the window (just pulled on right bottom corner to resize),
and the FPS changes quite a bit, i.e. 
goes down to 400 FPS on full screen.

Now given that these GPU's (I'm using nvidia 7900GT),
render shaded polygons and such (in card),
I am very very surprized that the FPS would change that
much over a window size change.

I be interested in what others get when they run glxgears
and alter the window size, and what card it is on,
i.e. ATI, nvidia,

I am also using the new nvidia beta driver that is supposed to be the cats ass,
but having the glxgear FPS go down to 400 FPS on full screen looks to be an 
issue from what I can see, and maybe i have something set up wrong.
