by tweaking a bit some config files, i managed to get accidentally the '550+' fps in glxgears (and a smooth compiz) !
when i boot without configuring the network (a RT2500 pcmcia wifi card) the performance is good then when i manually configure the network (iwconfig, ifconfig and route) i get the following messages in the log, and performance are reduced. So the problem seems to be about IRQ20. I continue my investigations... (i'm a beginner !)
