It is a mixed bag on my systems. On a system with an ASUS K7V 
motherboard with 768MB RAM, VIA VT8371 chipset and a Radeon 8500LE video 
adapter:

ganci at mcduff> glxgears
7667 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1533.400 FPS
7569 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1513.800 FPS
8524 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1704.800 FPS

However on a system with a Shuttle AI61 mainboard with 512MB RAM, AMD 
751 & 756 chipsets and a Radeon 8500LE video adapter the system will 
lock up immediately if DRI is on and I start X. Requires a hard reset.
