I'm not sure if this worked, but I followed the instructions 
here - 
http://clunixchit.blogspot.com/2006/10/fc6-aiglx-with-nvidia-beta-driver.html
I don't think these instrux were for my version of the driver, 
looking down further on that page, so I'll probably undo them.
These are my results after a fresh reboot:

glxgears
30235 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6046.989 FPS
30231 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6046.144 FPS
30411 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6082.149 FPS
30228 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6045.419 FPS
30176 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6035.012 FPS
30243 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6048.541 FPS

Only a very marginal improvement over my previous run, above 
shoown.
