I updated 9.10 again today A new kernel and Intel driver got installed. 2.6.30-10 has lowered performance considerably. The new upgrades to Xorg have a few issues with external LCD's.
Stepping back to 2.6.30-9 stablized things as long as I didn't push past the resolution of my laptop's onboard display. It's probably about the best speeds I've seen in games.
